A meditation on privacy, intellectual property, ethics, and mortality. This work reconstructs the corpse of Texas murderer Joseph Paul Jernigan, who was executed by lethal injection at 00:31, August 5, 1993. His cadaver was sectioned and photographed for the NLM’s Visible Human Project.

This series imagines an afterlife for Jernigan and visualizes the immortality of the data obtained from his body. The artwork questions the ethics of the NLM and the validity of the donor's consent.
