NINO SARABUTRA

Emerging artist Nino Sarabutra studied Ceramic Arts at Silpakorn University in Bangkok. For her most recent project, What Will You Leave Behind?, Sarabutra created one-hundred-thousand palm-sized porcelain skulls. The artist asked friends, family, neighbors, students and colleagues to help create the skulls and while making them contemplate their lives and think about what they would leave behind. Visitors are invited to remove their shoes and walk across this carpet of skulls while meditating on the fragility of life and inevitability of death.

 

The artist has created a web site in which she invites visitors to submit text and images of what they would like to leave behind and see what other participants have shared: visit www.ninosarabutra.com/WhatWillYouLeaveBehind
