Gabriel O’Shea Instagram – Elegīa III
(wood, plaster, animal skin, hair, ashes, dust, acrylic paint, resin and wax)
–
Elegīa (from the masculine noun [έλεγος “élegos”] that designates a song of mourning accompanied by flute);
¨…the molds that were once on a body now lie alone, impregnated with fragments and remnants that recall their past, creating a sense of longing and remembrance. The abstraction of the forms serve to emphasize the idea of absence, as the casts are not intended to represent specific individuals, but to evoke a sense of humanity as a whole. Through the use of these materials and the manipulation of form, the pieces invite us to contemplate the fragility of life and the inevitability of loss.¨
