Death = Life | Framed Poster

“I believe death is only a door. One closes, and another opens. If I were to imagine heaven, I would imagine a door opening. And he would be waiting for me there.” |  David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

"Death = Life" contemplates the enigmatic words of David Mitchell, the author of the Cloud Atlas, inviting us to reflect on the concept of death not as an end, but as a transition, a portal to something beyond our understanding.

Everything, us included, is an energy and the law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can only converted from one form of energy to another.

To simplify, think of a forest fire, which, despite its destructive power, plays a critical role in the regeneration of ecosystems. The intense heat releases nutrients trapped in vegetation, returning them to the soil, and triggers certain seeds to germinate, fostering new growth. While it marks the end of certain life forms, it also catalyzes rebirth and renewal, demonstrating a profound transformation where the end of one existence directly contributes to the beginning of another.

Mitchell's words speaks to the soul, to the mysteries that lie beyond our physical world, and to the continuum of life and consciousness.

This artwork gently nudges our perspectives about the finality of life, suggesting a broader view where death is seen as an opening, a commencement of another phase of existence.
