Mesh Mashup: Refinement ("Soul transfer")

Image
  "Soul transfer" "Soul transfer" is a piece that is a representation of the ideas of life, death, and reincarnation. The skull represents death and past life, On the other hand, the head represents life itself and in turn, new life. What blends these 2 things together is the liquid pouring from the eyes of the skull into the head; a movement from the past life to the new, the 'soul' if you will. The black and the white contrast between the liquid pouring is the bad and the good that was done in the past life moving on into the new life.

I was intrigued by the simplicity of the object shown on screen and how it was used as the example for this last point Dieter Rams made.
