Death . . .
. . . on the face of a rock.

Ironical situations that we often face in life. Thoughts deep, beyond the purview of words.

I have constantly observing that in your close up shots of rocks you avoid strong anchor points. Is there any particular reason behind that?
I think I need some more views before commenting on this image.

Sometimes, it is 'beyond' the image that we need to see to connect. Your title is dragging me along the lines that you are thinking, may be.
i need more views ... Death ?
Death as seen by me is very different than others (or many i should say): I have seen deaths (or personal friends, relatives, pets, ideas, society around me, and what not !) those lead me to think it as birth of new ! Now how do i relate this to your image? I need not i think, it is beyond ...

Pramod, I think lots of our thoughts are influenced by how we grew up in life and the context around us. When I was a young boy I used to pluck/cut grass to feed cattle at home. We use to make store of dried (paddy) grass called "Hullkutri". So dried stick of grass does not strongly denote "death" in some of our value system who grew up as cowboys :) But for those who have grown up in cities it might be. The point is abstractions often need associated context of the artist to better relate to them. I like the "tree" of cracks on the stone here instead :)

I see it as a portrayal of entire life and not limited to death alone. Glittering spots reminds of my success and those cracks of all the people i have met and their impression on my life. The dark big crack reminds me of my dad's death couple of years back. Brilliant image, i just got connected with it.
Somehow, the grass does not remind me of anything. As Ganesh says our thoughts are influenced by our upbringing, couldnt connect with the grass.
