ARTIST STATEMENT
Title: "Mortality" - Poem and illustration
For me, asking what death is, is exactly like asking what is life.
And my answer will most likely always be “I don’t know”. Part because all I know is my own experience, which as an individual human, doesn’t really say much. We tend to think death is a mystery. Life is too. Death, life, two parts of one - existence. The only thing I can say I know is my existence. In whatever way it may be (physical, spiritual, dimensional), it doesn’t really matter. Kind of like Descartes’ “I think therefore I am”. If you ask me.
