Lead load
All 3D copies of my 172 bones I cast in lead. Each bone is attached separately to a red cotton thread, and all those threads are attached to a leather loop (the end of a dog leash). The human body can feel so heavy that it is perceived as a burden. A burden we drag behind us all our lives.
Just rest
What if the 172 threads get tangled or break? Sometimes we just want to take a break, and at such times it would be nice to just tie the loop to something other than ourselves.
