Tied Moment

My first impression of death was image of a boat. It happened to me very early before I know that western culture use this boat image as a symbol of death. Because my grand father was died of cancer when I was a elementary student. He had refuged any medical treatment and just wanted to be dead naturally. Regardless of his decide, he had lived for 6 months more. I saw him slowly moving to his destination. His bed reminded me of boat slowly and gently departing from me.

I built my kinetic boat after 20 years later from that experience. I have become a father now, and I felt myself as a elder generation who have followed the path of old generation. it remind me to remember my grandfather again who was settled from my deep memory. But, the most vivid image of him is still like boat to me.
