" Art doesn't last. Life doesn't last.
It doesn't matter." said Eva Hesse.
Transience is one of the Axioms of Buddhism.
Knowing that if one can acheive that sort of acceptance, life may be a little more tolarable, and yet when faced with such a profoundity of Hesses's conclusion, I found my own inability to come to the point in saying;
"it doesn't matter".

Just like issa's haiku poem soon after losing his little daughter, the inablity to say " It doesn't matter" leaves us with many questions. In my rescent project," A Problem of Annihilation", I have been grappling with this seemingly unattainable state of mind, and trying to look deeper into the cause of this inablity. Does our inablity reflect a yearning towards eternity? And where does this yearning comes from?






" The world is but a drop of dew, a drop of dew , and yet and yet ..." Issa
