Final Home by Tito Stanley S. J.

This sculpture was created during my 2021 internship at a coffin shop. While learning the craft, I researched the coffin-making community and explored the myths and facts surrounding coffins. This experience culminated in a coffin sculpture and a self-portrait.

In the aftermath of Covid, I lost many close friends and relatives. My sister was even seriously ill while expecting a child. The fear of death was palpable for everyone in my family. These terrifying thoughts haunted me, and "The Final Home" is a direct result of grappling with mortality during that period.

This artwork was exhibited at Method Delhi in the group exhibition "Fresh Produce" (January 2025).
