Description
Listen to the audio description of this artwork:
The photograph !!!WAR IS OVER!!! presents a striking metamorphosis: a group of people becoming trees. It evokes a meditation on matter, on continuity, on the silent persistence of atoms. Like water, like stone, like air — we are composed of the same elemental particles that circulate endlessly through the universe. When we die, our atoms do not perish; they shift form, dissolve, recombine.
In this sense, we are never entirely separate. The carbon in your body may once have belonged to an ancient tree, a bird, or another human being. We are each a temporary constellation of particles that have lived countless lives before.
The image reminds us: we are not individuals in isolation, but part of an ongoing cycle — deeply entangled in the material and spiritual fabric of the world. As one.
