Metatarsal Foot
by Amadi Greenstein (United-States)

​In this art piece, the artist was thinking conceptually about the decay of the body and bones. The physical movements and actions of weaving remind her about parts of her own body and how it's been challenged and changed over time. The transparency of the found X-ray woven inside the piece exposes what is inside of us. Showing the texture of bone, fractures, and embedded scars created from past injuries. The X-ray is a tangible representation of the memory of pain and nerves our bodies uphold. It presents only one part of the multitude of pieces inside of us that make the human physically whole. A single touch to the body can tigger a memory of an injury and can evoke emotions from that specific moment. Similar to injuries and fractures, the emotional pain from memories can successfully heal on its own.


The lights attached to the frame are powered by AA batteries and come with a remote that can adjust the brightness and light patterns when turned on. To see the full x-ray in the piece, it is best to turn
