Extinct Animals, 2018
Group of 16 casts, plaster
This collection of cast hands depict different animal species whose extinctions were caused by humans. The artist has cast his own hands in poses that playfully recreate an approximation of the animal in shadow. They are a memorial but also remnants of a detached and futile resurrection.
