Wheel of Life Made From Marching Skeleton Legs by Monika Horčicová
Czech artist Monika Horčicová used a set of 29 walking skeleton legs and feet, which were made by 3D printing. Composed from plaster composite, sculpted and then casted into polyurethane resin, the pieces are meticulously assembled.
Horčicová intentionally uses a macabre symbol to represent the wheel of life, which is a symbol for birth, death and rebirth. The unconventional motif allows the viewer to freely interpret the wheel of life and and its unorthodox syntax.
