Now working on the final piece. This is going to be challenging and self driven. No brief. Decisions about how to proceed and what to create are left to the individual. Looking forward to this!

I have three things in mind at this point.

Firstly, to search for meaning in memories and loss as I have done so in a broad sense throughout the course. Secondly, in life some of us can’t ask the questions we want to and then it’s too late. After a death you can only search for answers in what a person leaves behind. Thirdly, whether when people you are close to die, can memories of emotional experiences (positive or not) recede sufficiently to and leave you with a quiet mind? Can they be gone?

I couldn’t find a word to describe what I was exploring so I thought I had conjured up a new word “goneness”. But I see from the WWW that it is a word from the mid 19th century. It means the quality or fact of having gone. I was searching for a word that described something ephemeral, something in-between being here and having gone. Still goneness”  will serve my purpose for now.

Is it possible to find answers from the debris of life?
