Life feels so precarious and unpredictable. In many parts of the world wars wage that should never
have been started with many suffering and where death comes too soon for too many. Life is fragile
and the pain of watching our loved ones pass away from us is inevitable. The invisible link that
binds loved ones together until one slips away is a thread that is strong and enduring, the pain
when it cracks and splits is unbearable. These images influenced by Dutch Memento-mori paintings
illustrate this thread between loved ones and of the pain of standing side by side as another life
falters & ends.
