Artist Francois Robert created artwork out of real human bones to remind people about the consequences of violence.
Robert is quoted as saying "The human skeleton is a strong visual symbol that represents what is left after life has ended, after the flesh and mind cease to function."
The assembled symbols of war above made me realize that art doesn't have to always be stuck together, it doesn't have to be a solid figure or piece. Robert used the same pieces to create multiple works and just took pictures of them to document the artwork.
Robert's shock factor with the real human bones, hopefully achieves his goal of getting people to realize how terrible violence and war is for the world.
its always exciting to me to read when you all (in your reading/research) have these "ah ha!" moments. it makes me proud for your realization :)
