Looking Back, by artist unknown
This papercut was intricately made from one sheet of paper. The detail is just amazing and the composition of the image is striking. I wish I knew the name of the artist. I photoshopped the original image to make it look a little more artsy.
I wonder what the skeleton is contemplating? The hole left by the life of the person? The temporariness of human existence on earth? A list of wish-I-had-done-that’s? Did I do my best? Did I love enough? A life well-lived? What happens now?
