Well, I don't know why I suddenly created this image. Perhaps this philosophy thread that I encountered today, or being inspired by the stocks of the ballet dancers. They have such amazing beauty and grace, captured only by the camera in which the human eye could not detect. I thought these stocks were too good to miss, and so downloaded them with relish, motivated that I'll soon create something wonderful in my own eyes.

These three tiles illustrates some of my views on what it means to be human. There is birth, life and then death. Of course, life encompasses both birth and death, but I thought to give them their own seperate sections because these two processes are significant and unique. In fact, these two are inter-dependent of each other. I did create a previous image about it, but only because I 'had' to.

We all started off with birth, but not in a literal sense. Birth can be the renewal of the senses, youth, vitality, freshness, the sunrise each day. Birth is always seen to be the key in the deux ex machina.

We live through the daily actions of being human - we eat, breathe, sleep, make love, create, destroy, learn, feel, grow and more. This is like the plateau that occurs after birth and before death.

We all die, and again, not literally. We age, grow old, we are weakened by the gravity of our experiences, we run out of energy, we become stale, or we die from the face of this earth. To me, death is something which caughts my eye, which explains why it appears so solid. We are fearful of death, it surrounds our environment and it affects us.
