hand turned wood from the door of a house of worship, steel, lead, toddler shoes, milk paint, spray paint, stain, hardware, 16 x 16 x 24

This piece is normally displayed in the center of the floor, highlighting the randomness of death in warfare and the children who are victims of this. The additional layer of the wood from the house of worship comes from my previous attempt at this piece – addressing the consequences of warfare fought through the lens of extreme religious ideologies (of any kind), the potential for religion to fuel war and religion becoming weaponized.
