When you see Ron Mueck's Dead Dad sculpture it can be in a fairly well lit room with a spotlight directly on the sculpture. Until you know the title you do not automatically think that the small figure is dead, but merely sleeping. Here I have created a more darker feel and with the blueness you know that the Dead Dad is truly no longer with us.

Ron Mueck created this nine-foot sculpture of a naked, bearded man back in 2005. He appears fearful clutching the stool on which he is seated.

Wild Man - Kate Bush
You’re not a langur monkey nor a big brown bear – You’re the Wild Man.
They say they saw you drowned near the Rongbuk Glacier.
They want to hunt you down. You’re not an animal.
The Lamas say you’re not an animal.

When my wife saw this sculpture she felt that the old woman had died. She has seen a few elderly woman who had died in their beds during the night.
This was most disturbing for her as it brought up old memories of the ladies that she had comforted and had a laugh with, who were now no longer around.
