A group show of invited artists considering how fear of death impacts our day to day life and individual decisions.

About

American Philosopher William James wrote that the awareness of our inevitable, unavoidable death is ‘The Worm at the Core’ of human consciousness.


How can we learn to live happily while being intelligently aware of our impending doom? Does knowledge of death affect the decisions we make, and how can we stop fear and anxiety overwhelming us in spite of this awareness?

Creating order, rituals and symbols, we infuse our lives with stability, significance, and purpose. Enabling us to perceive that we are persons of value in a world of meaning,  hence eligible for literal and/or symbolic immortality.
