“Anything At All” by Cheyenne January

“This piece embodies the phenomenon of existence in the endless cycle of life. It started by reading the Edvard Munch quote: ‘From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.’ From there, an embryonic version of my composition stirred in my mind and I started working. While I was drawing I kept contemplating how every living thing is in an infinite loop, how the death of one organism directly supports the new life of another. A lyric from a song I love came to mind while I was thinking about this – ‘I can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all’ – and after some trial and error this print was born.” – The Artist
