Seemingly floating as a 3-D x-ray, a tiger skull cast from laundry detergent sits in a one-way mirror vitrine as water slowly drips on the skull until it crumbles. Symbolically and materially, the work alludes to environmental degradation—tigers are powerful animals driven to the brink of extinction by human excesses. Phosphorus is an everyday pollutant found in laundry detergent, and x-rays identify and diagnose underlying problems. Yet the skull’s disintegration also indicates that entropy and dissolution are immutable processes.
In addition to the ephemeral work in the vitrine, six photographs document this process. Three horizontal and three vertical shots of the piece show the tiger skull before, in the midst of, and at the end of its disintegration. The photographs are printed as transparencies and mounted on LED panels.
单向透视玻璃展示柜中，用洗衣粉铸成的老虎头骨仿佛悬浮半空的三维X光片。水滴落在头骨上，直至它溶解崩塌。无论在象征意义还是物质材料的层面，作品都是对环境恶化的隐喻——虎是被人类欲望迫至濒危的猛兽，磷是洗衣粉中的一种污染物，X光则被用于发现和诊断潜在的问题。然而，头骨的崩解也暗示着熵增和消解是不可避免的过程。
除了展示柜中终将消解的作品之外，六张照片记录了作品变化的过程。三张横幅和三张竖幅的照片捕捉到了头骨在溶解前、过程中和溶解后的状态。照片打印于透明材料上，固定于LED面板。
