Future Present Archeologies

This work presents an ironic revisit to Artemis of Ephesus, with her multiple protrusions reimagined through a modern perspective where bodies are just another commodity to modify and control. I speculate on how future civilizations might discover our bodies, just as we uncovered the preserved forms of Pompeii, witnessing how industrial chemicals have altered us into synthetic abundance—bodies that merge with synthetic materials in a twisted post-human shift, echoing her ancient form encountered in a future Post-modern Pompeii site. 
Materials: Ceramic bisque, glass, food dyes, water, oxidation, and industrial materials.
