Dimension: approx. 58 x 58 x 90 in
60 Grams Is Non Dose is a sculpture composed of metal pipes, rods, feeding bags, and air-pumping machinery. By combining the spiritual symbols of a chandelier and organ pipes with disposable medical supplies, I recomposed them into a sarcastic mechanical contraption. The juxtaposition represents a human being striving to survive through the use of oxygen tubes and feeding bags during treatments. This work implies that, under physical trauma, we all need to rely on the same medical process and medical equipment to maintain our lives, regardless of our financial or social status.
