    Project name: MY DEAR

    Sandwich(?) name: Prosthesis for a sandwich

    "Although one’s passion for life’s meaning fades, rituals of care are performed in the course of existence. The gradual treatment is characterized by a want for deep breaths, to cross time spans. When the end of life draws near for a beloved one, we put an endless effort.

    One weaves threads of effort through the loom of difficulties, stitching the fabric of aspiration. In this hopelessness act, a moment of clarity can emerge: somewhere in the seemingly pointless daubs of labor, there might be hidden purpose.

    Picked lilies, broken acorns, dead butterflies... they morph into my patients. Through the process of my interventions, I seek to unveil the elusive raison d’être, that compels us to persist in this relentless pursuit."
