Drawing from Cubism and Surrealism, the project visualizes death as a fragmented and layered experience. Distorted perspectives, symbolic imagery, and dreamlike transformations are used to represent the conflict between rational understanding and emotional attachment. Rather than portraying death as a singular event, the piece examines it as an ongoing process that shapes how we experience life, loss, and time.
