​

fROM THE PRIVATE SUFFERING IN our DAILY LIves TO THE WORLD-CHANGING EVENTS WE EXPERIENCE TOGETHER, DISASTERS AFFECT US ALL.

 

BODIES AGE, SHIPS SINK, COUNTRIES BURN, AND DREAMS EXPLODE IN STRATOSPHERIC FIREBALLS.

WHETHER THE CONSEQUENCE OF MISTAKES, CATASTROPHIC BAD LUCK, OR THE INEVITABILITY OF TIME, Safety AND stability ARE ALWAYS fragile AND DESTINED FOR DECAY AS WE NAVIGATE OUR PERSONAL ICE FIELDS AND STORM CLOUDS AND MELTDOWNS AND HORROR STORIES UNTIL THE VERY END.

 

THESE WORKS ARE MUSINGS ON THE WORLD AND our responses to IT ON OUR WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN, THE GRAVEYARD, THE JUNKYARD, OR WHEREVER WE END UP.

 

SOME MEMORIALIZE THEIR TRAGIC EXPERIENCES TO COMMEMORATE AND ACCEPT THEM, OTHERS MYTHOLOGZE AND REDEFINE THEM WITH conspiratorial fantasies. often, TRAGEDY iS our ENTERTAINMENT, TURNED INTO MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITIES WITH show times and PRICE TAGS. TRAGEDY CAN ALSO BE the catalyst for art and HUMOR, COMMUNION WITH OTHERS, or finding the power for survival.
