In this thought-provoking exhibit, visitors were invited to walk along the surface of 100,000 miniature porcelain skulls. The project, entitled What Will You Leave Behind?, was created by artist Nino Sarabutra to explore the idea of death in contrast with our connections to a living, physical world. The artist said, “I don’t see the skulls as images of fear or sadness. They are liberating: look at all the opportunities, all the lives you could live, how serious your life is. Then go out and make the most of it.”
