How temporal
your life is
little May Fly…

Today here and

• fused "glass – illustration" printed as an archival pigment print, 100% rag paper

The lifespan of an adult mayfly can vary from just 30 minutes to one day depending on the species.
It
belongs to the group 1 taxa of pollution–sensitive animals, this means
if mayflies are in or around water. it is good quality water. They are the oldest of the extant (still living) winged insects. Due to their short lifespan they are also called the "day fly" or the "ephemeral fly" in some languages.

Though dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts,
they serve for sweet relieving, when fantasy and reality lie too far apart. Fiona Apple

Papel Picado,

She is a tree
of life to them
that lay
hold upon her:

and happy
is every one
that retaineth
her.
Bible quote

I designed and created this piece to honor and remember my mother, she is just in a different dimensional plane.

Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation.
For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life. Albert Einstein

Papel picado (“perforated paper”) is the Mexican art of papercutting into elaborate designs.
