Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz created these life sized wax figures using themselves as the mold. Imagine the metaphysical implications of seeing your body melt to the ground before your eyes.

“We cast ourselves as candles in a mixture of beeswax and parafin with a wick running through the center from head to feet. We lit the candles at the beginning of our show in PPOW Gallery and we let the candles burn and run their course throughout the exhibition. Our candle bodies slowly melted away for the duration of the show.”

I’d like to burn a wax model of myself to the ground. I’m sure I’d find some fantastically symbolic Jungian delight in the process.
