Praying Mantis I Andrew Villarreal

This is my Altar Ego project. While constructing this pray mantis out of fingernail clippers I imagined that I was a sculpter in the future. I was inspired to create a pray mantis after thinking back to my dorm days where my roommate and I caught a pray mantis. We would let it fly all over our room and basically made him our pet. I wanted to take an everyday object that people use and turn it into something bizzare. I picked fingernail clippers because they are fully functional as an arm or leg.
