God – I – fate.
What chances do I have?
For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen afer him under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 7: 12
I and my shadow.
Should I, could I jump over my shadow?
A drawing is turning into a shadow, until it is hard to distinguish the artist from her work.
Man is like a breath;
His days are like a passing shadow.
Bow down your heavens, O LORD,
and come down;
Touch the mountains,
and they shall smoke.
Psalm 144: 4-5
Idea for this performance came up after a car accident on May 13th, 2021.
Our guardian angel was with us. Suddenly the world had changed.
We are thankful.
