Mass

While we were in San Francisco, we went to De Young Museum. I am usually not into such stuff but since it was quite famous, we went.

It was quite interesting overall and i wish i wasnt too tired towards the end that i didnt get to read all the descriptions and backgrounds of the pieces.

One of those which especially caught my eye was this:



The piece is called "Mass" and it is made up of the charred remains of a burnt down church and suspended in a cubiod shape. Playful use of the word "mass" in both the religious and scientific context.
