The three-dimensional image of a human being, particularly as cast again and again over time, allows a degree of familiarity that no two-dimensional image can dream of acquiring. When my father died in 1984, I took his death mask, thus forming the beginning of this large memorial project: I just did not want to let go of his face. How many more, I wondered, would like to hold on to the face of their loved ones, if only they could? Over time, the project Facing<strong>Death<\/strong> emerged, transforming an individual experience into a metaphor for humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-0b055c4097da0ff1049997dc621bc676\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-0b055c4097da0ff1049997dc621bc676{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-0b055c4097da0ff1049997dc621bc676 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-28  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-hide-on-mobile av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-e249c3c7d87d7547f244f51b625787c1\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-e249c3c7d87d7547f244f51b625787c1 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-e249c3c7d87d7547f244f51b625787c1 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-e249c3c7d87d7547f244f51b625787c1 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-29  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-67 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-67 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.facingdeath.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/06-thehistory-1.jpg\" alt='' title='06-thehistory'  height=\"592\" width=\"398\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
