<-Still life image for class

Life and death have always wavered against eachother struggling to overcome the other. Most people tend to side with life.
My drawing represents a person's existance. Like many have experienced a person can be alive but not living. To them it might be as if they are dead because they think they can never achieve existance.
Another way of thinking about this, is that in a person's dying he or she has finally realized the importance of life and that person is trying to embrace it. The colored flowers in the background symbolize the others that this person has affected. They'll live on for that person and because of him or her. In life there is death. In death there is life.
