About this artwork
ARTWORK NARRATIVE:
The state or fact of lasting for only a limited period of time. An inescapable, and essentially painful, fact of life as it relates to our mortality. The Dalai Lama wrote, "Awareness of impermanence and appreciation of our human potential will give us a sense of urgency that we must use every precious moment." An inexplicable miracle of life is the reflective sphere which we grasp for. Clinging on as if the harder we hold on somehow,… we temporarily escape our self perceived demise.
ARTWORK MATERIALS:
Copper, Stainless steel, Carbon Steel & Chrome Sphere
