The Beginning at the End exhibition is about how loss and decay bring the chance for renewal, for something else to live from what came before. When a tree falls to the forest floor, other organisms, animals and plants sustain themselves from the decomposition of that tree. Life cycles are the way generations are born: the foundation for our world. Renewal is only possible through loss. Pulitzer prize winning writer and poet, Mary Oliver, describes “… the one world / we all belong to / where everything / sooner or later / is part of everything else…”Endings give way to beginnings. These transitional moments are full of beauty and hope, openings to a reassured perspective in what it means to be part of everything else.”
