TERMINAL LUCIDITY

Collapsed Dish

The phenomenon of terminsal lucidity occurs in the period immediately preceding death, when the dying person experiences what has been described as a kind of clarity and uphoria.
In the face of death's terror nature, nature provides a suyblime exit strategy, a dose of beauty and perhaps even hope as life fades to black.

This work hopes to function in a similar way, finding a resigned beauty in the dystopian collapse of our planet's ecosystem while perhaps also reminding us that this is a planet worth saving.
These pictures depict the "golden hour" of twilight, that magical time when the truth, hallucinatory and only partly visible, is hard to discern.

Terminal Lucidity for a planet on the brink.
