DESCRIPTION
A plaster mold cast from the body of a deer preserves surface detail with rigorous precision—the wound, the blood, the animal’s form. Hollow inside, it remains a mass with an empty core, like a cocoon abandoned by an insect. Externally, iron, graphite, and coal merge with plaster into a dark crust resembling coagulated blood and scar tissue. Hard yet fragile, the shell endures as a trace of life; its fragility reflects the delicate nature of existence, while the imprint preserves the animal’s form across time and space.
