This work is reconstruction of Ophelia from the famous painting of English Pre-Raphaelite John Millais in three-dimensional conditions. Romantic approach to death in Millais painting is meeting here the grotesque of plaster bunnies looking at Ophelia. Death through its inaccessibility for living can be only romanticized, shown in elegiac way or otherwise in the form of media news reports as impersonal images of human corpses.
