Somnus Aeternam.

The study of eternal existence in a world were all living things find their end naturally, while some things never die. As someone who views death as a dark, miserable finale, I embarked on the project in an attempt to understand what stays and what goes; what it means to depart and what it means to linger. These images are a visual representation of what death means to me in a poetic visual language to grapple with what is incomprehensible as an atheist.

The medium helped me express myself in a way that is new to me. The polariod format lead me to photograph on emotional impulse rather than logic. The collection of images presented project both unsettling and comforting emotions because of the everliving nature of death through the things that never die. Eternal sleep; Somnus Aeternam.
