‘Autumn Death’ is the second image I created in the skeleton series, following ‘Sweet Grief’. As a practitioner and teacher of Buddhism, I frequently contemplate the concept of impermanence, Anicca. Contemplating my own mortality and that of my loved one’s and of all living forms, I am able to gain perspective and live through my most deeply seated values on a daily basis.  ‘Autumn Death’ is meant to remind us of how natural and how true it is that we will die. Our flame will blow out in the wind and our energy will swirl away into something new. Death and birth. Ending and renewal. This is the great force of the vast and eternal life of which we are but a tiny particle, a blink of an eye. May this practice of death contemplation inspire you to live fully and with great joy and compassion.
