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.
