Incredible Art Made From Real Human Bones
According to belief, the human skeleton is a powerful visual symbol. It’s come to represent the “remains”, what’s left after life has ended, after the flesh and mind cease to function. This artwork made from real human bone looks unusual. In fact, the author of this project is Francois Robert, a photographer from Switzerland. According to him, he spent hundreds of hours arranging the real bones of a single human skeleton into a series of striking iconic shapes. Meanwhile, each of them is five or six feet wide. Noteworthy, the art photographer titled the beautiful yet eerily haunting series, ‘Stop the Violence’.
