About Us

For my project i took inspiration from sources that also conveyed the same theme and message as my project. 

Death has long been a subject of fascination and contemplation in the art world. Throughout history, artists have explored the many facets of death, from its inevitability and finality to its symbolism and meaning. For some, death is a source of fear and anxiety, while for others, it is a natural and even beautiful part of the cycle of life. Many artists have used death as a means of exploring broader themes such as mortality, spirituality, and the human condition. The topic of death offers a wealth of opportunities for artistic expression, allowing artists to delve deep into their own thoughts and feelings about the subject while creating thought-provoking works that challenge our understanding of life and death.

the life of death

The video "The Life of Death" is a short animated film that tells the story of the relationship between death and life. Death is portrayed as a kind and gentle figure who roams the earth collecting the souls of the departed. Life is represented by a little girl who meets Death while playing in the woods.

The two become friends, and Death takes the girl on a journey to show her the beauty of life and the inevitability of death. They witness the changing of the seasons, the growth of flowers, and the flight of birds. Death helps the girl understand that life is precious and should be lived to the fullest, while also showing her that death is a natural part of the cycle of life.

As the girl grows older, Death eventually comes to take her soul. However, the film suggests that even in death, the girl is not alone, and Death remains a gentle and comforting presence. The film concludes with a poignant message that life is short but beautiful and that death should not be feared but rather embraced as a natural part of the journey.
