"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” - Oppenheimer / Vishnu This is my self portrait that I started a year ago and never finished. When I had my near death experience last month after my surgery I can say that, "as Mack explained, there will be darkness again." (Hozier) Katie mack is a theoretical astrophysicist. She just wrote a beautiful book called, "The End of Everything." It's about each way the universe may eventually end. Yes, there is darkness. There is nothing. I have seen that void, with only a tiny photon remaining - only the last piece of my consciousness. It clung to this world. And I refused to leave. As the light of life returned to me I was afraid and angry. Why am I still here? Because I have written you down and you are immortal. And you have work to do, people to heal, and worlds to change, forever. 🔳 ✒ 🔳 #charcoalpencil #drawing #darknessintolight #artist #charcoaldrawing #instaartist #charcoal #pencildrawing #darkness #oppenheimer #vishnu #ptsdrecovery #darkness_fantasy #ptsd #darknessandlight #warriorwoman #complexptsd #occultism #selfies #ptsdawareness #gothic #thedarkness #artistic #drawings #charcoalart #artistsoninstagram #selfportrait #artnouveau #hozier www.hannahcrazyhawk.com (at Eugene, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEk5-IalVMp/?igshid=108r5j8wluav5
