Ekaterina Belukhina | La mort de la mort
The future is impossible to know, but this painting reflects the ways in which our minds transcend the limits of time and space. It represents a future where death has been conquered and instead of mourning we are celebrating life.
The painting invites the viewer to contemplate the future where people have finally conquered death. The figures are celebrating with a white skull on a tray, the generally accepted symbol of death, in the center of the painting. Thick, colorful threads of matter cling to him, while thin threads seem to be trying to escape from his grasp. In order to better understand the meaning of this painting, one must first understand entropy.
All the matter tends to disorder from its beginning. It’s universal act of matter. Death comes at the moment when entropy wins. But human beings have an advantage of ability to regenerate. Regeneration is a war against entropy. Yet, all living beings ultimately loose the tug of war with entropy.
This painting invites people to think about the future where the war against entropy is over and people have won it.
