STRIFE and LOSS parts

STRIFE and LOSS is deeply personal, and at the same time, an expression of the state of physical conflicts that infect our fragile human existence. “STRIFE” expresses the anger and anxiety that accompanies the mental and physical (failings and deterioration) of the human body and spirit that is Alzheimer’s. In the world arena, “STRIFE” expresses the persistent failings of humanity that are all out war!
“LOSS” is about the deep sorrow and grief that is created by those personal and political failings. STRIFE and LOSS is dedicated to my partner in life, Julia McLean Macy.
