SCP-173/History

The image used is "Untitled 2004" by Izumi Kato and photographed by Keisuke Yamamoto. The picture was taken during the SCAI THE BATHHOUSE Exhibition in Tokyo Japan between April 9th and May 7th 2005. Kato has stated that his works are to resemble living beings, albeit primitive, and alike babies, fetuses, or insects, stripped of nationality, race, or age. Unlike the SCP-173 article describes it, the sculpture was made using wood, acrylic, and charcoal.
