Brilliant piece of work @holoz0r. It would be fitting for your article to have the acknowledgement it truly deserves now.

Personally, I don't find the subject matter at all 'morbid' ~ Perhaps it's because there have been several incidents in my own life where had it been 'my time' I wouldn't be here right now answering you. So the thought of death is present with me constantly, as a reminder to live whatever time I now have, with purpose.

Easy to understand why we like to think of the being who has 'departed' from their body as simply being in a deep sleep. And so death can be romanticized in art in this way.

One of my favourite paintings was 'Ophelia' by Sir John Everett Millais. Although looking at the painting again now, the model has her eyes open. 🦋
