Hyper-realist sculptor Sam Jinks is from Melbourne, Australia. He draws attention to life's disposability. His work is also about how one changes mentally, not only physically from sickness. He plays with the psychological effects sickness, old-age, and death have on individuals. His pieces reflect on the inner-most workings going on through the human mind in all aspects of life. A thought is brought forth into reality, which may be part of the reason why he has chosen to portray these figures in such a realistic light. I like the realness in Jink's work. Not just because they look real, but his sculptures also express how we feel about certain things in a very real, almost surreal, light.
