Artwork of the Day: Looking at Death in the Face

Today's piece is about contemplating that life is not forever. It is a finite circumstance. People gradually get old and youth is over. It seems so sad in a way. Time goes by so quickly and really great people get sick and die. Some will die before they get a chance to become old. The prospect of death is frightening and mysterious and yet it is a fact of life. Contemplation of death - how does one want to die, what are the memories we want to have had before the end is a reality?
