Death and life

 "Eventually, all living things die. And except in very rare cases, all of those dead things will rot. But that’s not the end of it. What rots will wind up becoming part of something else,"(Kowalski, 2014). Thus creating life cycles, "life would end without rot," in other words decay promotes growth which is implied by my sculpture as it looks as though the plant is growing out of the vertebrae. The sculpture occurred through the serendipity of taking a photo of my castings last year that I hoped would evolve into a wearable piece.
