“You try and avoid [death], but it’s such a big thing that you can’t. That’s the frightening thing isn’t it?” Damien Hirst says regarding his sculpture, ‘The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living’ (Hirst, 2011). Often well known for his thought-provoking and rather visceral artworks, ‘The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living’ mirrors the theory of truth explored in Darren Hudson Hick’s Introducing Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art.

The three pieces of literary art (Thanatopsis, Dust in the wind, and Don't fear the reaper) are sending a message that people live and they die. And we don't matter, but nature will always be a thing.

Bryant explains that death, like life, is a part of nature, which was a loved and cherished aspect of the nineteenth century. In the period of Romanticism, nature was an important ideal; it was viewed as the source for everything. In “Thanatopsis”, Bryant uses nature as a comfort zone, saying that when one dies, they will become a part of nature. He says that the bodies will be used to nurture the earth. Bryant also mentions that we once were made as a part of nature and that people will die as a part of it as well. He states: “…and lost each human trace, surrending up thine individual being shalt thou go to mix forever with the elements.” Bryant is saying that bodies will decay and eventually become one with the earth and nature. Along with becoming a part of nature, Bryant explains that the deceased people will be with some of the finest people who walked the earth.

“But everybody knows life isn’t worth living. Deep down I knew perfectly well that it doesn’t much matter whether you die at thirty or at seventy, since either case other men and women will naturally go on living- and for thousands of years. In fact, nothing could be clearer. Whether it was now or twenty years from now, I would still be the one dying.” (Page 114, Chapter 5)

As I read the reading “death”, I can conclude that the main idea for this reading that the author wants his readers to believe that the death is not something scary. We all should not be afraid about the fact that our bodies will cease to exist after death.

This subject matter is about one of the most under rated paintings in my opinion of all time painted by a very under rated painter whom is Tim Ashkar, and the painting is no other than Beauty of Color. The artwork is full of different shades of beautiful black women wearing their elegant attire along with exquisite heads dresses and simply luscious pearl necklace along with the ear rings to match. All of them have peaceful and pleasant looks on their faces with their backs straight wearing beautiful array of earth tone colors with eyes to match. It seems like they arrange from young to not so old but all of their faces are very distinctive from one another, so it’s very easy to see who’s who.

As long as humans have lived and died, we have strived to know the meaning of life. We assume that there is a meaning or importance to life, and in doing so try to provide some permanence to our existence so that a greater machine might continue to function. It is only natural, then, for us to be interested in the concept of immortality. If there is purpose to an ending life, a life that does not end must be supremely important. This idea is exemplified throughout time in stories both historical and fictional. The Epic of Gilgamesh is one such story. Gilgamesh deals with immortality on nearly every level, and at the same time points back to mortality, trying to extract a reason for living and dying.

Over the course of time the motivations for creating art has shifted. Artists all have different intentions when they create a piece of art, depending on the context of the time period and society in which the work was created. Some artworks are created to provide commentary on a particular issue, to educate, record history, challenge the status quo, or for ceremonial/celebratory purposes. The motivations for creating art in the context of modern times is different from those of previous eras.

I enjoyed Anri Sala’s “Answer Me” at the New Museum. The art Sala created was able to use visual and sound as a way to relate to one another. Based on what I know of the time Sala is showing, many people died and there was change happening. Like Irene. I did find myself looking for wall text or explanation other than on the second floor. Some art pieces were striking, while some left me wondering what was the meaning behind it.

While reading Meda Chesney-Lind's and Victor Rios' interviews, plenty of powerful insight and advice was given, which on the long run benefits me and guides me on doing research of my own. One of the most important pieces of advice given was to have reflexivity, which in my case I have to understand that I have privilege, thus I should not take anything for granted in my field. Another key piece of advice comes directly from Victor Rios and says, “Although I brought my own biography to this study, that was not enough to give me the insights I needed to develop conceptualizations for understanding the conditions... experience alone did not guarantee entree” (Fentsermaker and Jones. Rios p112). This piece of advice hits home in my case because

The article “Andrei Chikatilo” is a biography about the notorious Ukrainian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, known for killing and eating the body parts of fifty people between 1978 and 1990. It covered information about Chikatilo’s terrifying childhood along with his murders and cannibalistic tendencies. The article also gave strange but interesting facts about Chikatilo’s brother who had been kidnapped and eaten by neighbours. This seems to be the reason why Chikatilo ate his victims as well, as revenge to the person/people who killed and ate his brother. This source was highly informative and provided strong factual information about Andrei Chikatilo’s childhood, killings, and his prison sentence. The article also stated that he had

The mind, body and soul are connected therefore the soul must die with the body, therefore the soul must be mortal, therefore one will experience nothing after death, therefore one should not fear death. That is the Super Sparknotes version of Book III of Lucretius’ On the Nature of Things. It looks so tidy on the page laid out like that, but when broken down and considered with respect to human nature and existence, it becomes far more complex, as many things often do when taken out of the context of academic theory and applied to, for lack of a better term, real life.

It was the fatal flaw of humanity which Nature, in one shape or another, stamps ineffaceably on all her productions… The crimson hand expressed the ineludible gripe in which mortality clutches the highest and purest of earthly
