Spinal Delirium approaches the spine as a fragile axis, caught between order and disintegration. In this animated composition, a cluster of sculpted vertebrae becomes the stage for surreal transformation. Initially stiff and silent, the spines begin to twist and contort. The piece invites viewers into a nightmarish space where bodily form is deconstructed and reimagined. The movement is subtle and uneasy. Light and shadow deepen the ambiguity: Are these structures decaying or awakening? Is this healing or disturbance? Through a mix of digital sculpting and animation, my work questions where the boundary lies between anatomy and emotion, object and being. The spine, typically hidden yet vital, becomes both monument and metaphor, a vanitas in motion.
