The Death Of Immortality

the death of immortality
Congenital invincibility is abruptly discarded when the concept of mortality dawns on us as human beings for the first time in our consciousness. This painting discusses a personal meditation on the diagnosis of life and the condition of being a subject of death. It is simply a description of the experience of my existence in an attempt to subside the ‘the death of immortality’.

Lament for the Makers
10.
Art-magicianis and astrologgis,
Rethoris, logicianis, and theologgis,
Them helpis no conclusionis slee:—
Timor Mortis conturbat me.
(The Fear of Death confounds me)

William Dunbar. Poet.

frida’s lesson
Frida Kahlo is a medicine (wo)man.
Through her work and vigilant pursuit of self-expression despite the fundamental realities of her physical-health, she has emboldened me in lessons of self-therapy. Art-therapy.
