Artist: HEKURAN AVDILI No body. Just packaging. The figure stands, almost seeming to breathe. But where there should be flesh, there is plastic wrap; where a heart should beat, a crushed bottle. Here, the human being appears as what he leaves behind: transparent, hollow, disposable. The reduction is the punchline. Nothing is hidden; we see right through it and yet look away. The material outlives the one who used it. In this work, the roles have been reversed: it is not the human who possesses the plastic. The plastic carries the human. What we consider trash has long since held us together.
