A sculptural installation in dialogue with the existence of the Egyptian Mummy in the room that has been gifted to the Monastery. Just as the mummies function as an instrument between preserving physicality as well as reaching to eternal life after death, the wax casted hands holding bronze letters and words in their palms placed within various spots inside the library, between the books, work as reminders of a long lost or invisible fragment of life.
