“Das Ende" ("The End") by Andreas Paul Weber, 1943.

What can we learn?
That dying is inevitable, recognisable, describable, and that we can prepare for it. The Queen had clearly planned ahead.

That at the edge of life, we can still enjoy love, and peace, and companions.

That we need to get familiar with dying.

Having a concept of death, far from being a uniquely human feat, is a fairly common trait in the animal kingdom https://t.co/asUJulwUAT

It won’t be shocking to anyone in the TD community that we love art that takes a creative spin on decomposition. (Let’s say it all together: it’s okay to decay!) Artist Kathleen Ryan takes this to another level with her series of beautiful mold-covered fruit. #TalkDeath #Art 🍋
