About the work

In Memory:
1918 Spanish flu... September 11, 2001... Covid-19 Pandemic..........

Mortality looms
invisible, stealthy
the flesh it consumes
and... What is FOREVER?
Gradual decay - inevitable deterioration
I observe with curious fascination.
I'd like to say detached.
Outward trails of inward travels
Journeys marked with blemishes and scars
of where we've been and how long we've tarried.
I stare and glare and dissect.

Remembered flesh, supple and toned
Youthful belief in forever
Mortality looms
invisible, stealthy
the flesh it consumes
and... Where is FOREVER?
