WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE SKULL PROJECT?

The intent and purpose of THE SKULL PROJECT is to create a skull egg for each and every person who has died in the Iraq war since the US invasion. To date there have been over 17,600 casualties from seventeen nations (see Stats page).

In the mere span of 22 blustery fall days in splendiferous New York City, over a thousand people helped create some 1500 skull eggs. Concerned citizens from all walks, all faiths, all nationalities— locals, tourists, students, moms, dads, kids, businesspeople— participated. The completed eggs are remarkable, breathtaking, jaw-dropping AND beautiful in their own macabre way. A feat of beauty, and a feat of remembrance for those who have lost their lives.

THE SKULL PROJECT in NYC has concluded it's 22 day run, but is not over! As soon as Paul Wirhun, the creator, has a chance to catch his breath, he will be posting the next phase of this project.

CAN I STILL SUPPORT THE SKULL PROJECT?

YES, and yes again. THE SKULL PROJECT was a huge financial undertaking with liability insurance, space rental, publicity materials, etc.
