"The Anthropocene (...) is a proposed geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems (...)“ Source: Wikipedia
Humankind as parasites, assimilating at any sacrifice, robbing, killing, conserving, yawning for power and immortality.
Parts of dead animals, dissected marrowbones - archaic material as well as remaining waste of every day's meet consumption are being conserved in anorganic material - Soft PVC, a persistent petroleum product while re-contextualized within the shape of a pillow. 
The initial (interior) product's surplus value, ease and comfort, is being revoked and replaced by a new form language - turning the piece into a mythologically charged object.

Almost half of the quarantine’s period I was busy cooking large amounts of cattle marrowbones hours of hours in different suds and salt baths - macerating, bleaching and scraping away all remaining flesh, fats, proteins & gelatins, while being in a constant state of loathing and meditation.
