NinTi

Fragile as a calf trying to stand on its legs, NinTi paradoxically seems to approach the advanced stage of its skeleton's decomposition. Visitors face a curious edifice, a wooden carcass whose contours evoke both bony remains and human craft.

The ceramic sculptures that form the crest of the framework are fragments of one and the same growing organism. Shaped in white stoneware, this spine hybridizes human bones, plant and animal forms. Named NinTi, after the Sumerian goddess of birth, the work lends these vertebrae the hope of new lives, rising up from chaos present and to come.
