The New Life explores regeneration through the image of a bison skull broken in half, from whose fractured form butterflies emerge.
Discarded objects and plastics are assembled to construct the skull, which projects from the black background as both a remnant of death and the origin of a new transformation. The fracture is not treated simply as damage: it becomes the opening through which colour, movement and life enter the composition.
Butterflies spread from within and around the broken skull. Their presence does not erase death, but develops from it. The work therefore presents regeneration as a continuation rather than a replacement: what has ended remains visible, while another form of existence begins to take shape from its remains.
Light is an active part of the composition. An integrated spotlight illuminates one butterfly as if it were separating from the work, while red fibre-optic lighting traces the outline of the skull. As the surrounding light changes, the sculpture reveals different states: its materials dominate in daylight, the illuminated butterfly emerges in dim light, and the red contour becomes visible in darkness.
By combining recovered matter, painted elements and integrated lighting, The New Life transforms a broken skeletal form into the source of movement, colour and renewal.
