I wanted to take a shot of a water droplet up close but this was better. A water droplet frozen in time by the elements questions the workings of time.

I used newspaper paper towels and cut flowers that would eventually dry and decompose. This created a distinct contrast between life (the rabbit) and death (decaying flowers), focusing on life cycles and their relation to mortality. I was inspired by Francis Bacon, particularly due to his comments on mortality and existentialism. Bacon’s composition technique of using flat planes to suggest space within a piece creates a stronger focus on the subject in the foreground.

This sculpture was created on the themes of towers and existentialism. It was inspired by facticity within existentialism, which claims there are things in life that affect us which we cannot change. One of these things in particular is genetics. While our genetics make us individuals, they also affect what sort of life we may lead.

Comics Exhibition: "From TELEOS to the Beyond”
Dithers Humor with the Existential and the Mundane
SILVER SPRING, MD— DWIGHTMESS Cartooning & Comic Arts, a new gallery devoted to experimental and cutting-edge independent comics and illustration, is proud to announce its next exhibition, From Telos to the Beyond, a conceptual group show exploring material spirituality and existentialism through comics, featuring the original comics art of Sam Sharpe, Everett Bass, Bob Kubbers and Peach S. Goodrich.
Combining the uncanny and the profane, the arcane and the contemporary, From Telos to Beyond represents a cartoonists' inclination for testing out possible habitable cosmic systems through the particularized and unshared realities of their art. Humanity's inclination to obsessively name its purpose through art is a feature of popular Western cosmogony, and is put into illuminatingly weird action by these artists through the language of sequential storytelling.
Sam Sharpe and Peach S. Goodrich are collaborators on Viewotron, an anthology of recurring stories that match comedic riffs with philosophical narrative rhymes that could only happen in comics. Populated with talking animal college students, goal-less explorers, space monsters, debunked deities, and unexamined consciences, the publication's weird humor reminds us that no one is safe from the stresses in our lives that can embolden one to self-sabotage.
Combined with Sharpe and Goodrich, the perfect draftsmanship and storytelling of comics artist Bob Lubbers (1922-2017) reveals a mastery of and seamless relationship to the comics medium that would seem, to contemporary eyes, eerie to maintain and distinctive in its compositions. His bold creativity, on display in comic strips such as 'Lil Abner, Tarzan, The Saint, and Secret Agent X9 should have afforded him more recognition. According to comics journalist Paul Gravett, Lubbers is 'not the celebrated cartoonist he should be.' Additionally, in these strange & obscure, possibly unpublished comic strips titled Buck Danes, Everett Bass, an artist surmised to have worked in the 1940's, engages a singular, running commentary about making ends meet through its characters that mirrors the political realism of Harold Gray's renowned and long-running comic strip, Little Orphan Annie. That the comic may well represent a failed attempt to capitalize on Gray's success by featuring familiar working-class themes and a relatable drawing style, it ultimately still succeeds at replicating Gray's comic universe, but for purposes too fascinatingly odd to be understood.

Does gaining more knowledge actually make life easier—or does it quietly increase the weight we carry?
In this short reflective monologue, Sindy explores whether awareness brings responsibility or anxiety, and why understanding consequences doesn’t always lead to clarity. A calm, philosophical look at knowledge, moral weight, and the cost of seeing more than we used to.
This isn’t advice. It’s a moment of reflection on what it means to know—and what that knowledge asks of us.
SCRIPT:
The strange thing about knowing more
is that it doesn’t always make decisions clearer.
Sometimes it just adds weight.
When you understand consequences, patterns, systems—
you don’t get the comfort of simple choices anymore.
You start seeing how everything connects.
And that can feel less like responsibility
and more like anxiety.
But maybe the point of knowing more
isn’t to feel calm.
Maybe it’s to stop pretending we didn’t see it coming.
Because ignorance can be peaceful—
but awareness asks something from you.
Not perfection.
Just honesty about what you now know.

A solitary human figure drifts through an uncertain landscape, suspended between memory and geography. A visual reflection on displacement, identity, and the search for belonging in a fragmented world.

Das Bild zeigt eines der verstörendsten Meisterwerke der Kunstgeschichte: „Der Leichnam Christi im Grabe“ (auch „Der tote Christus im Grab“), gemalt von Hans Holbein dem Jüngeren zwischen 1521 und 1522. [1, 2]
Es ist bekannt für seinen radikalen Realismus und seine ungewöhnlichen Dimensionen (ca. 30,5 cm hoch und 2 Meter breit), die der Größe eines echten Särges entsprechen. [1, 2]
Hintergründe und Bedeutung
Radikaler Realismus: Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Darstellungen zeigt Holbein Christus ohne göttliche Verklärung. Der Körper weist deutliche Anzeichen der Verwesung auf, wie die grünliche Hautfärbung an Gesicht, Händen und Füßen.
Religiöser Kontext: Das Werk entstand während der frühen Reformationszeit in Basel. Es betont die menschliche Natur Christi (kenosis – die Entäußerung Gottes in die Menschheit) und konfrontiert den Betrachter direkt mit der Unausweichlichkeit des Todes.
Symbolik: Ein besonderes Detail ist der ausgestreckte Mittelfinger der rechten Hand. Einige Interpreten sehen darin einen Hinweis auf die Auferstehung am dritten Tag (der dritte Finger), während andere es als rein anatomische Folge der Totenstarre deuten. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Die Wirkung auf Dostojewski
Besonders berühmt ist die Reaktion des russischen Schriftstellers Fjodor Dostojewski, der das Bild 1867 im Kunstmuseum Basel sah. [1, 2]
Seine Frau Anna berichtete, er sei wie erstarrt vor dem Bild stehen geblieben und habe sogar einen Stuhl benutzt, um es näher zu betrachten.
In seinem Roman „Der Idiot“ lässt er die Figur Fürst Myschkin sagen: „Von diesem Bild kann mancher den Glauben verlieren“. Für Dostojewski stellte die extreme Menschlichkeit und „Endgültigkeit“ des Todes in diesem Bild die Hoffnung auf die Auferstehung auf eine harte Probe. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Das Originalgemälde befindet sich heute im Kunstmuseum Basel.

She stands where time has left its quiet marks—
between memory and disappearance,
between the body and the shadow of existence.
A moment suspended, refusing to become past.

This is my second line of enquiry - The absurd in existentialism. Absurdism is the human tendency to try and find meaning in life conflicting with the human inability to find any.
In short, life is futile until we give meaning to it.
With this in mind I wanted to present a chair (which we have given a very simple 'purpose') and completely hide or enclose the image. Changing its purpose and its 'meaning'.
