Remarks:
According to the artist the
sculpture
is a statement of agnosticism, a questioning of belief systems, and whether there is life after death. Two skeletal figures, that are part of the
sculpture
, were temporarily removed due to a threat of vandalism. IAS files contain a photograph of
sculpture
at an indoor location with the skeletal figures.
