longevity

Silhouette of an elderly person bound to an hourglass, struggling under the weight of lived time.
An allegory of longevity buried in sands of time. The longer you live, the heavier the burden.
Body & Mind

Description

Longevity is a never-ending marathon of self-discovery. Medical advances shine as beacons of life extension, yet they fuel the torturous abundance of idle retirement and family celebrations. The longer one lives, the heavier the accumulation of praise and burdens grows with compound interest. Thus, longevity is both a symbol of blessing and a ruthless ruler of endless speeches and gift hell.
