She by Jorge Castañón

Brooch / Figurative Conceptual

Jorge Castañón. Brooch: She, 2017. Found pieces of wood, paint, silver.. Photo by: Marcelo Tarsitano. I constantly felt that it was life itself I wanted to thank for, but as I started putting together the character I had designed in my project, I couldn’t help but think about Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I felt I was creating a man of sorts and, after recalling the monster’s claim to Victor Frankenstein (to make someone like him for him to love,) I knew I had to create “Her” as well. So I reflected again on what I was being thankful for, and I understood it was love, the nourishment we all need for living..
