The Approach of Age (Laila Rahman)
1989/90 | Brigitte Neubacher
Laila Rahman: "This image deals with metamorphosis. It may be read essentialy as an organic form. A desire to change, reform and to yet retain the original spirit, which informs the human soul, arwe some of the issues, adressed in this image and the series that were made alongside it." (2007)
Death brings with it unalterable change. This in turn underscores the trajectory of one's life forever, akin almost to a stain. The slow curling up of the organic form is a defensive action, indicative of an attempt to shield the body from the" .....slings and arrows of outrageous fortune....."
