An exploration of where the soul truly exists within our physical form. When heart transplant recipients gain new memories, experience personality changes, have dreams of their donor, and even Western doctors admit to a mysterious phenomenon of “cell memory” then is the whole being contained within the organ, or the cell, or the genetic code? Or perhaps outside the physical form entirely?

This piece represents my curiosity about these themes – organ donation and the relationship between the two humans entwined in that corporeal contract: the ultimate sacrifice of the dead is symbolized by the goat skull, a common animal used in spiritual sacrificial ceremony. The dead is brought back to life through transplantation/transformation into another form and brings along vestiges of the previous life lived. This is represented here in several forms – dream creatures, monsters, and dolls, as well as the tiny goat tucked within a cavern of the heart.
