Immortal flowers
Sigmund Freud's 'Transience' (1915) finds a profound echo in my images of overgrown graves, where nature's reclamation mirrors Freud's exploration of life's transience and fleeting nature. The tombs, embraced by nature, symbolize the inherent change and decay in human existence, as noted by Freud.
Observing these graves prompts reflection on Freud's insight into the transient essence of all things. The darkening tombs reflect the inevitable passage of time, emphasizing the impermanence of life. Freud's exploration extends to the realm of memory, where, like the enduring elements on the tombs, memories fade and lose clarity over time.
Through Freud's lens, these overgrown resting places become a metaphor for the transience of life and the gradual fading of our physical presence. The philosophical resonance underscores the universal truth that everything changes and eventually disappears, emphasizing the importance of embracing the present and cherishing fleeting moments.
