Emil Melmoth
“Death is forever living on [the] mind” of Mexican artist Emil Melmoth. Browsing his Instagram account is like venturing down into a carnivalesque crypt (but don’t look if you’re afraid of creepy dolls). Bodies are disfigured, dismembered, and sewn together. In the sculpture above, three “Stranded Kids” resemble hellish offspring, their shrunken, decayed bodies inspiring both sympathy and horror.
