Anatomy of an Angel
A pristine white resin sculpture depicting an angel whose body is partially dissected, revealing detailed anatomical interior structures beneath the celestial exterior. Hirst merges the sacred and the scientific, juxtaposing classical religious iconography with the cold, clinical language of medical inquiry. The stark white surface reinforces themes of purity and mortality, challenging the viewer to reconsider the boundaries between the divine and the corporeal.
