The thin shell of the bodyby ~derkert

Digital Art / Other / Sci-Fi

A SF fantasy! After the very cold cryogenic operation I finally begin to thaw out.
The ice shell is cracking up. Water us dripping on the floor!
The scar shines through even under the ice.

Looks good in the big view mode!

This is one of my post operation images. (had a heart operation late 2011)

Photomanipulation by edvard derkert 2012

The title is taken from Karin Johannisens bok: Kroppens tunna skal.

så tunt kan det vara

~derkert Sep 11, 2012

mycket tunt!

*LauraTringaliHolmes Aug 11, 2012

This is stunning. And true. And makes me think. One of my very favorites of yours.

We are all vulnerable! The body can be such a beast of beauty, but also painful and disgusting!
We are all going to die! aj aj aj!

*LauraTringaliHolmes Aug 12, 2012

Yes we are. It is quite a passage.

~derkert Aug 12, 2012

But to where?

*LauraTringaliHolmes Aug 12, 2012

I don't know. But I have been reading a lot.

What? I am reading a book called the denial of death. Found it cheap on a flea market. The thesis is that we are "gods" trapped in animal bodies. Gods with an anuses (its sort of freudian). What an insult. Death too!

*LauraTringaliHolmes Aug 12, 2012

A Zen book or two on spiritural maturity. Sounds like it's a little different from your reading! Also a book by a Benedictine nun. Jury is out on that one.

~derkert Aug 13, 2012

I like zen. Zen and nuns!

And hens.

All goes well with Budhism!

Zen, nun and hen budhism!
