Artwork description
Vultures, abominated and venerated by human civilizations across histories and geographies for consuming and cleaning the dead, are the only animals on our planet who can digest diseased carrion without getting sick and without spreading sickness to others thanks to the powerfully corrosive quality of their stomach acids. Vulture Veneration is a sacred space to honor our agents of life beyond death, a space where visitors may recognize, measure, and prepare.
