In Memoriam (An Artist Statement)

Life and death; two opposites that control existence. When we are born, our life begins. When the internet was born, new life for our society began. Life also gives us our identities. We spend our whole lives building who we are, establishing connections with other lives, and maybe impacting other lives as well. We do just the same on the internet now, with social media, and other outlets on the world wide web. We can reach people in more than just by phone and letters and in person contact. Life has become more complicated. Even more so, we can become different in our internet lives than our lives away from the computer.

Then, there is death. Death comes swiftly sometimes, and sometimes it comes later than planned. We all know what happens when one dies, there is a routine that awaits their now lifeless body.
