There is no separation between the artist and the work of art. The artist —to create genuinely— must give her/his/their life to the work [the fire one carries]. The existence of the work emerges from the artist and it is the artist, reflected in the work, that which transcends. However, all forms of existence are ephemeral. We can think in hundreds of billions of years, and it will always happen that an entity will transform into something else and it will enter into another state. It is difficult to think about it, but it is the most thoroughly realistic approach to worldbuilding that I have so far.
