“Nothing is permanent, except change.”
Life is an organically shaped sculpture made from an ultra-thin sheet of steel, marked by rust and irregular cutouts. The jagged contours and perforated sections give the piece a fragile, almost weathered appearance, as if time has left its traces upon it.
The symbolism of the material and form directly aligns with the title and its underlying concept: life is transient, fragile, and unpredictable. Like steel, it may seem strong, yet it is subject to decay and transformation. The warm, rusty hues suggest a natural cycle of growth and decline, while the openings in the sheet allude to the unpredictable twists and vulnerabilities of existence.
Mounted on the wall, the artwork takes on an almost painterly quality, becoming a quiet, poetic reflection on the impermanence of life. It invites the viewer to contemplate the fleeting nature of our existence and to find beauty in imperfection and decay.
