The tittle of your work -Death Is Nothing But An Eternal Sleep- lead and call to mind the mental picture made by Heraclitus of Ephesos (535-475 B.C.) when he see in death a dream. He marvels focusing the problem of the opposition of sleeping and waking, life and death, night and day, summer and winter, hot and cold, wet and dry; opposites both at the level of the human soul and the larger cosmos.
He said in the cryptic fragment: A person in his sleep touches that which is dead, though
-himself- alive, when awake touches that which sleeps.
When Jorge Luis Borges explain the art of poetry, he wrote:
...Gaze at a river made of time and water and remember, Time is another river.
To know we stray like a river and our faces vanish like water. Is to feel that waking is another dream, that dreams of not dreaming and that the death we fear in our bones is the death that every night we call a dream; to see in every day and year a symbol
of all the days of man and his years, and convert the outrage of the years into a music, a sound and a symbol; to see in death a dream, in the sunset a golden sadness - such is poetry, humble and immortal, poetry returning, like dawn and sunset... Art is endless like a river flowing, passing, yet remaining, a mirror to the same inconstant heraclitus, who is the same and yet another, like the river flowing...

0f course it is. I am back to pester you. I find it amazing how you can interpret sculptures in your unique way. This could have been so boring. Instead it is loaded with poetry.

Nah, she's just stoned! As Tom Waits might say. ;) Great shot.
However, as I have gotten older and seen more, I feel sure that 'this life' is just one of many. There are too many pointers. Not God or some other religious stuff, but some ineffable else - something more than that limiting, set-in-stone set if ideas. So, I do not think death is an eternal sleep but more of a rest. Where that leads finally..., who knows. I see every reason, though, to leave this place better than we found it.

Oh she is exquisite, and you've captured her so beautifully, Fabio. I am not positive I like the right crop, with the touch of background, but I will certainly accept it and admire it as it is -- death is that way, you know, you don't get to pick and choose :))
Beautiful beautiful . . .

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Peccato per la luce cosi' carente, sarebbe stata molto piu' aggressiva (visto il titolo...). MM.
