WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER

This artwork was created specifically for the "KILLER QUEEN" art exhibition, curated by Gorden Froud, as a tribute to the legendary band QUEEN. For this piece, I drew inspiration from my all-time favorite song, Who Wants to Live Forever. The theme of eternal life and transformation runs throughout the work, reflecting both the song's poignant lyrics and the band's timeless influence.

The color bars in the composition symbolize past lives, while the figures enclosed within them are intentionally rendered with an otherworldly smoothness, emphasizing their distance from the earthly realm. At the center of the piece lies a female figure, her thigh adorned with the Fibonacci symbol, representing the eternal and cyclical nature of life. The Fibonacci sequence itself, often found in nature, is a metaphor for the infinite, ever-evolving process of creation.

While the image appears nearly black-and-white at first glance, subtle hints of color reveal themselves upon closer inspection, suggesting the quiet yet undeniable presence of life beneath the surface. The female figure is in the midst of a metamorphosis, transforming into a new, eternal existence. Her cocoon-like form speaks to this ongoing process of change, while the delicate lines surrounding her evoke the suggestion of wings—symbols of transcendence, ready to carry her into her next phase of eternity.

This piece, like the song that inspired it, reflects on the beauty and mystery of immortality, the never-ending cycle of life, and the quiet moments of transformation that lead us into something new.
