STILL ALIVE Installation

This piece comes in a set with “Childhood” and “Angel time” pieces. All three artworks are made from a single piece of linden wood. The artist says: “Still alive is the middle piece of the set. I had a totally different idea at first, of what to do with that piece of wood, but it gradually transformed into this exquisite three-piece set. They represent the three major stages in our lives – childhood, adulthood and elderhood." The insertions are shaped from an actual copper pipe (it still has the technical engraving on it) and mimic the heart-beat. The piece serves both as an eccentric work of art as well as a mirror. The message that this artwork transmits is that you are still alive and your dreams are still with you while your heart beats into your chest.
