Vestigial Dialogue 1 - 10
Survival, progress, and the desire to leave a legacy behind are the primordial motivations for all living beings. Over the course of millions of years physical, evolutionary changes have been made. Vestiges are remnants of bodily structures left behind by Time. They are functionless. Our contemporary Homo sapiens tailbone - or coccyx - is a prime example of vestige. It is a non-functional bone inherited from bestial ancestors with a prehensile tail. This project celebrates the melancholy and poetic aspect of vestiges by juxtaposing these forsaken bones and creating a dialogue between them.
