Wheel of Life Made From Marching Skeleton Legs by Monika Horčicová
Czech artist Monika Horčicová used a set of 29 walking skeleton legs and feet, which were made by 3D printing. Composed from plaster composite, sculpted and then casted into polyurethane resin, the pieces are meticulously assembled.
Horčicová intentionally uses a macabre symbol to represent the wheel of life, which is a symbol for birth, death and rebirth. The unconventional motif allows the viewer to freely interpret the wheel of life and and its unorthodox syntax.
Who said math can’t be interesting? Fractals like these can seem too perfect to be true, but they occur in nature and plants all the time and are examples of math, physics, and natural selection at work!
When we see order in the world, we think it must be some human hand that made it so. But Galileo Galilei in his Il Saggiatore wrote, “[The universe] is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.” There is order in nature, and artists who want to reproduce it faithfully spend hours studying nature’s forms.
Civilization has struggled to understand this perfect geometry for thousands of years. In the 4th century, Plato believed that symmetry in nature was proof of universal forms; in 1952, the famous code-breaker Alan Turing wrote a book trying to explain how such patterns in nature could be formed.
