‘Sunsets of Permadeath’ (2023) is a series of framed paintings that explore the liminal space of death and rebirth in video games. Inspired by eerie and apocalyptic sunsets of major volcanic eruptions, it offers a pause, a moment of stillness and contemplation admist the cyclical time of eternal returns, in both geological events and gaming quests. 

 

Its fragmented wooden frame questions our relation to ornaments, and challenges our perspective of space, disrupting the accepted order of the framed and the unframed.
