Human Earrings
The Earrings

Back at my studio, I eventually found two dehydrated foetuses at the bottom of the jar.

As soon as I recognized them, I put them in a new jar filled with a specially prepared rehydrating liquid. The foetuses stayed in that liquid for about two weeks before I rinsed them off and freeze-dried them.

Then I sprayed them with gold paint and fashioned them into a pair of earrings.
