Pyrolysis is a chemical decomposition caused by dry heating with the exclusion of oxygen. The work is a manlike sculpture that is being dripped down via a big heart with candle wax. It’s about how you can lose yourself in love and how you can be stuck in the situation in which you are in and in which you can’t find a way out. It also resembles the looks of the victims who died and turned into stone in Pompeii, the old and frozen in time elements were really important aspects for me. The manlike sculpture is about + – 1m 20 and the heart is the same, which should be placed above each other.
Sculpture: 135 cm x 70 cm.
Heart: 140 cm x 80 cm.
Chicken wire, plaster, cloths, candle wax, candles, graffiti, newspapers.
