Humans have always had a fascination with the human form as the body is a contradiction. The body is both container and what is contained. By burning the military uniforms, I allow the emotionally loaded materials to be transformed into new forms. Through casting, I have put the materials inside the boundaries of the body so they both carry and become the ashes.
