If I die Before I Wake by Andreas Varro (Fine Art Photography)

Death is no end, but a means to live;
It makes us think, act, and give.
It teaches us to create, to love, to feel,
And reminds us that time is fleeting and real.
Yet for some, life is never enough;
They forget to live, spend billions of dollars,
And, in denial, refuse to embrace
The quiet finality of the final sleep’s grace.

** Story / Inspiration**

The artwork highlights the hubris in the tech world’s pursuit of eternal life. It tells a story about how some believe that living forever is the key — instead of using their resources to live a meaningful life.
