State of Fragility #1
“The State of Fragility series is my reflection on the notion that our lives are in constant peril. We strive for a stable existence but only find the illusion of one. We spend a lifetime searching for security but find only our fragility instead. As an uncomfortable topic to contemplate, we simply gloss over our own mortality. But the most interesting thing about life is that our mortality makes us all in. No matter what you do, you are not getting out alive. We should live every day of life to its fullest potential. Take risks, do things that scare you. Fragility is what makes us feel alive. In some ways we absorb this fear, in other ways we perpetuate it. Embracing this state of fragility is healthy and truly living, rather than just existing.”
