As an atheist, it was an impossible question about death and with it the reason why life was given. I couldn’t help thinking about death since my teenage years, and this led me to philosophy as a discipline where I found my possible answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Eternal Recurrence by Nietzsche. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAfter taking a long break while settling in Australia, I started oil painting instead of sculpture which I studied at Uni.
