EMPIRE OF DUST BIRD OF PARADISE Drawing

My present body of work titled “Empire of Dust” is based conceptually on the following quote: Thrasymachus: To sum up, what shall I be after my death? Be clear and precise! Philalesthest: Everything and nothing. “ One can thus regard every human being from two opposed viewpoints. From the one side he is a fleeting individual, burdened with error and sorrow and with a beginning and an end in time; from the other he is the indestructible primal being which is objectified in everything that exists” Text: Arthur Schopenhauer / “On the suffering of the world” In this present body of work my goal is to illustrate the above statement, the notion of us as mortals being connected to everything and nothing with in the universe. We are finite mortal beings but are also everlasting forces that inhabit and live through all that is on this earthly plane, echoed by our relationships to the heavens. Nature has been used through out literature to illustrate mans virtues and downfalls in our journey as sentient beings through a path bordered between good and evil, on earth, the heaven’s and in the depths of darkness; Using this as inspiration I aim to create works in which this tension, symbolism and relationship is expressed.
