The dream of immortality, Hidden in the transdifferentiation. Changing form, Never to die.
------------------
You shift the shape of your existence Transdifferentiation grants you Always new days For wandering Through the endless seas.
Can you teach me To start anew? Show my cells How to survive The passage of time (Do I want to know?) … … … The spine of Homo sapiens Isn't strong enough to carry All the weight of being alive Yet never dying.
The depths of the ocean hold the secret of eternal life. The immortal jellyfish is a captivating creature with a unique ability for continuous transformation and never succumbing to old age. Instead, when it reaches the pinnacle of its maturity as a jellyfish, it reverts to its earliest developmental stage as a polyp, and its life cycle begins anew. This rejuvenation process involves cellular transdifferentiation, where one type of cell transforms into another, assuming an entirely new role. If the jellyfish remains unharmed by predators, its renewal seems limitless, offering us a glimpse of what it could mean to exist indefinitely.
"Infinite existence" is a part of the "Ocean" subseries, within the broader collection titled "From Tundra to Tropical Rainforest." Collection also has a written addition to every painting. It's my biggest body of work so far. Paintings feature animals and their stories acros the Earths biomes.
Each original painting comes with a certificate of authenticity that is personally signed by Laura Lončar. Your artwork will also include hand written letter and a small surprise gift.
With each painting from the series "From tundra to tropical rainforest", you will also receive a hard cover artbook featuring the whole collection of 30 paintings, close-ups and writings.
