Analyze Huma Bhabh's sculpture, Athos. From what materials is it made? What sculptural process best describes the work (carving, modeling, casting, or assembling)? Compare the depiction of the human figure in this work, to traditional depictions, as in Menkaure and Khamerernebty.

What will be an ideal response?

Bhabh's sculpture Athos is an assemblage. It is made from many found objects: scraps of wood, pieces of metal and plastic, Styrofoam containers and packing pieces, chicken wire, and sticks. The figure seems to have a slight contrapposto in the upper body, but overall the impression is similar to the poise of the human figures in Menkaure and Khamerernebty.
