Exhibition: 21 gr.
‘People lose about 21 grams the moment they die. That is the weight of the soul leaving the body. Scientists proved that in 1907 with an experiment in an enclosed bell glass.’
Soul travels towards the unknown, leaving all behind.
Carrying inside an end as well as a new beginning
Nothing it hangs onto in this world belongs to it
That is why it only takes its own weight with it as it travels alone
Leaving behind an emptiness of 21 grams.
