Von der Kürze des Lebens (On the Shortness of Life)

Abstract

Sometimes, we break glass and end up with a cut. Both glass and skin are delicate. Yet both protect. I used the glass as the base for painted words, similar to business window stickers. By creating a contrast, the title, “On the Shortness of Life”, inspired by Seneca, introduces the idea of time and age.
