mortality

i think about death a lot.

i think about how easily, how quickly a living person can all-of-a-sudden be gone.

gone completely and forever.

it can feel like just the slightest bump can bring permanent change.

i like how the blue witness here seems to hold back the veil – so we can see the fragility of life, and see how we usually hide from it.
