Commentary by Gennady Stolyarov II:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cShattered\u201d is a print by Dr. Laura Katrin Weston, a.k.a. Katrin Brunier, the original exemplar which I received in November 2017 due to my donation to the successful\u00a0MouseAge crowdfunding campaign<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Lifespan.io<\/a>. Along with the three other artworks that I acquired from Dr. Weston \u2013 \u201cTeeming<\/a>\u201d, \u201cGraceful<\/a>\u201d, and \u201cSqueak<\/a>\u201d \u2013 this print is featured as part of my Longevity Wall.<\/p>\n

This work depicts how the forces of ruin can lead once-ornate and beautiful things to become eroded and deteriorated. This process, unfortunately, afflicts human organisms and minds as well, causing much of value to be lost or at least faded with time. Even with age, there remain in everything and everyone traces of the former splendor that can yet potentially be reclaimed \u2013 if humanity reconsiders its priorities and decisively commits to the war on ruin, including the quest to overcome aging and death.<\/p>\n

Artist\u2019s Description:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cTime ravages even the greatest of minds, shattering them into a chaotic cloud of misfired potential. Once simple tasks become impossible, we become unable to live without aid, to live for ourselves any longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know about you\u2026 But I don\u2019t want that future. We have the power to change that. All we need is more support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You can find more work by Dr. Laura Katrin Weston at the\u00a0Katrin Brunier Gallery<\/a>, an Ethical Investment-Grade Art Gallery for the Neo-Renaissance Era (see its\u00a0Instagram page<\/a>). Proceeds from art sales at the Katrin Brunier Gallery will go to support causes such as medical research and conservation.<\/p>\n
