Snake Ceiling

Backpacks
Approximately 90,000 people died or went missing in the May 12, 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Many school buildings collapsed, killing many children and leaving their backpacks scattered across the quake areas. This work, which resembles a giant snake, is formed from commonly used student backpacks in various sizes (representing children from elementary school through junior high) laid out as a requiem for the souls of those who perished in the disaster. |
