| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系 === 97 === If there’s a birth, there’s a death. Death is the only necessity in one’s life. Martin Heidegger, a German existentialist of 20th century, brought up a oncept “Being-towards-death”, presenting a notion that death is part of the existence of a man. As the termination of life, death is extremely dreaded. However, In regard to life, death is not meaningless, death manifest the meaning of life. Because of death, people will be aware of how fleeting life is; because of death, life is inspired ,enlightened and strengthened. Without the darkness of death, the resplendence of life couldn’t be revealed. Due to the binary relation of life and death, people are inspired to explore death. As a result, death has become not only a controversial topic in religion and philosophy, but also a theme of numerous literature and art since ancient times. Nevertheless, through the pondering over death and life, the death consciousness within those compositions is concerning not only physiology but also mentality. Thereby, the implications of death have been extended, and the aspects that we probe into have been boardened.
This text is a creative paper, trying to find and explore the views and works which are in agreement with oneself, and to sort out a set of personal interpretation of death and life.
Ultimately, my own understanding of death and life is used as the major theme to depict this works.
