What happens when a Tamagotchi dies? Is there a Tamagotchi heaven or hell? While taking a deep dive into the internet, I came across an old tripod site that was a virtual Tamagotchi graveyard. I decided to bring this idea to the physical world and explore Tamagotchi afterlife.
Based on their owner's care, Tamagotchis can evolve into different types of monsters. This piece features several post-humous Tamagotchi forms, from friendly ghosts to demonic spirits. The sculptures also feature animations of Tamagotchi life, with animated rainstorms of Tamagotchi food, poop, and more.
