Life Cycle-4
A four-panel installation exploring childhood, midlife, old age, and death.
How does a life become a memory?
Time becomes a material of the work through an integrated 131-minute looping film.
Life Cycle-4 is a four-panel installation tracing the arc of a human life through Childhood, Midlife, Old Age, and Death.
Language evolves across the work, shifting from innocence and possibility to conflict, acceptance, and reflection. Each panel contains a F.O.L.P. (Figure of Limited Predictability) paint event, forming a continuous thread that connects the four stages.
The final panel incorporates both an integrated HD video and a charcoal drawing preserved beneath Den Glass. Together, these elements introduce memory as both image and experience—something preserved, altered, and revisited over time.
Viewed as a single work, Life Cycle-4 becomes a meditation on aging, memory, and the passage of time.
