Artwork description
This artwork was inspired by the words of the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood:
“In the end, we all become stories”
What makes this idea deeply meaningful to me is the way it reflects human existence and the traces we leave behind. In the end, every person becomes a memory carried by someone else. Some become an inspiring legacy that continues to live on, while others become lessons, emotions, or even fleeting moments that slowly fade with time.
This artwork explores the idea that we are constantly writing our own stories through the choices we make, the people we touch, and the lives we influence. It raises the question: how do we want to be remembered, and what kind of story will remain after us?
