If you would live one day where would you like to end up?

Every day people are dying for many reasons. You constantly hear on the news someone was killed, overdosed, suicided or just reached honourable ‘old age’. We all know that we live once and time is going so fast, but why are we still looking around more than focusing on our lives? This series of images invites you to stop and think about how temporary and frail everything around us is and to think about the really valuable things in life. Nothing new! But if it would be your last day today how would you spend it? Just remember more often to enjoy the moment.

I used bugs for these Macro images to symbolise short-living and fragile creatures. You can find them everywhere around us and they are being killed unnoticed. Five photographs - Five reflections of possible ways to die. Accidents, ageing, suicide, unhealthy habits and disease. At the same moment, these images are both sad and playful. Although death is a serious topic, I wanted to reveal the bright and positive side of human existence. Death could be a celebration of your life. The odd composition and colour’s purpose is to bring your mind back into the present and stop living in autopilot mode.

This idea came from my personal daily life experience. My work is a message to myself from my self-consciousness. And I am like everyone you. There are hundreds of motivational books and sentences written about how we should live and experience every second, but why we are always forgetting this understandable thing? Usually, this simple truth comes from a positive perspective, but this time I'm trying to reach the viewer through the side of tragedy. And I believe if this message would appear in front of our eyes more often it would be much more effective.
