What happens after death?
I have always been intrigued with different religion’s views on the topic of death. This has been a very recent topic in my life so I wish to look into it more. I would love to see how different religions and different groups of people view these differently and ultimately take some of them and develop a sculpture behind it.
Death is usually a very challenging topic for people to grasp so there are many different viewpoints on what happens at death and beyond. I feel that this is usually a very polarized view and so many different religions and groups of people find it difficult to hear what others have to say about their view on death and what comes next. I want to dive into this and find commonplace between religions and differences and highlight those to make a sculpture that brings this topic together since it usually never is. I want to highlight the uncertainty in this question. Things like reincarnation, rebirth, paradise and judgement. I want to touch on the Egyptians and Anubis, as well as Greece and Hades. I want to showcase that they all believe in judgement but have it happen in different ways before getting to this paradise. I want to show the different views on reincarnation and rebirth while also showcasing how they differ. In the end, this will hopefully bring together these different viewpoints and show some common ground and really showcase the human need for answers.
