Death

“Welcome to everyone’s life. Death is a ubiquitous occurrence, dumped upon us daily by CNN and more occasionally – yet still inevitably – in our own intimate moments. But when death strikes our lives, it invariably shatters our psyches and changes us for the darker, no matter how we try to prepare to accept it.”

After two years that I had the movie “21 grams” in my computer, I finally watched it. It was a fabulous movie about the natural phenomena of our life, death. Watching this movie, hearing about the earthquake in Gheshm and the airplane crash in Tehran have all made me to think about death.

The Mexican director of the movie by putting together the subject of death and birth stimulates critical questions on minds. In the movie, two men dies, two women get pregnant and at the same time birds flying is shown on the screen!

The last sentences of 21 grams:
How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death, every one, and how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much the 21 grams weight?

*The painting belongs to 5-6 years ago when I was doing a series of black & white paintings, with the subjects of "fly" and "death"!
