shape of things to come

this piece is about the the passing of time
and the change of shapes, especially the human body
as it developes, ages and dies.
originally it was paired with a pillar made of fired sand,
which has crumbled and disappeared in the days after the firing,
leaving the elongated ceramic piece alone and abandoned.
it could be reminiscent of a tree with silver or grey leaves,
representing any living being in the last phase of its lifespan,
but also of a chandelier with shining lights
