The artwork, entitled “Death” by the artist EVA, was created in 2017. Employing ready-made, glass, and metal as its medium, this piece is categorized within the genres of abstract and fits within the art movements of Conceptual Art and Contemporary. “Death” is part of the “Edem” series.
In the artwork, a cylindrical piece of what appears to be rusted metal is vertically enclosed within two transparent glass cylinders. The metal exhibits signs of wear, with visible textures and lines suggesting aged, weathered material. The glass encasements provide a stark contrast to the rough metal, highlighting its rugged surface while encapsulating it in a clear, modern facade. The interplay of materials evokes considerations of time, decay, and preservation.
