A life that fades

Abstract

Despite my best efforts, I understand that fate cannot be altered to bring back the person I loved and lost. However, their loss has motivated me to study the three characteristics of existence (TILAKKHANA), which have become the foundation of my work. By using self-reflection and analyzing decay, suffering, and desolation, I express myself through the art of woodcarving. Through intricate forms such as human skeletons as a symbol of death and wilted tree trunks, I reflect on the natural imbalance in all aspects of life. I am delighted to showcase this art collection with the aim of encouraging reflection on the emotions that come with loss, creating an understanding of life's inherent asymmetries. For those experiencing loss, my hope is that this collection may provide comfort and help cultivate resilience when faced with unexpected changes.
