Title: Disquietude

Creator: Nicole Rieko Karrmann

Category: Death

Creator Commentary:

This photograph stands as a visual representation of the realization of death’s imminence on the living. The foggy, green aura represents the dread and fear that fills our minds as we begin to register and ponder our own ultimate demise. Additionally, the obscured, non-crisp nature of the photo furthers the essence of uncertainty as we, the living, approach our final days. Some may have a longer process of death in which the smoke clears bit by bit as they approach their end, but some meet a quick end, unable to see through the fog of uncertainty and process death mentally and conceptually.
