"The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" This installation features a large tiger shark suspended in formaldehyde within a glass tank. The artwork has sparked a heated debate, causing critics to argue that the use of a deceased animal for art is insensitive and raises ethical concerns about the treatment of animals in contemporary art. Others see it simply as a "cool" piece.
