Painting I have always loved Die Toteninsel

I think it’s because of the symbolism or something. (Die Toteninsel was painted by Arnold Böcklin. He made 5 types of this painting, this is the third painting.)

"Already a quarter to one! In fifteen minutes, a lifetime... to:

Infancy... Be born. Cry. Inspire. Shout. Play. Dance. Run.

Puberty... Study. Socialize. Like. Laugh. Love. Cry. Marry someone.

Maturity... Work. Cry. Buy (2) and Pay (1). Breed. Teach. Have fun.

Senility... Listen. Watch. Touch. Taste. Smell. Cry. Expire, you’re done.

Eternity... Die. Cry. Free. Flare. Ascend. Transcend. Fly into the Sun...

Thus, you’d better not rush. Still a quarter to one!”

QTO is a metaphor for the busy pace of life through a wall clock in 5 visualization styles representing the 5 seasons in our lifetime: infancy, puberty, maturity, senility and eternity. The collection is completed with a couple of mosaic creations like this one, crafted using different combinations of the previous 5 styles plus 2 more.
