Listen "Thoughts in Passing"
Episode Synopsis
For Claudia Bicen, curiosity about the meaning of life inevitably led to curiosity about facing death. But how would she explore that deepest of human questions? A self taught artist, she decided to interview and draw people in hospice. She would visit, get to know them, then create an audio visual portrait of how they were facing this last chapter. Perhaps she expected deep and profound wisdom, an otherworldly sense of transcendence. Instead, she came close to people, being human, reflecting on their lives and forming relationships with her that touched and opened her. This was, in the end, profound; that we simply live until we die. And yet her portraits captured the depth of the people she came to know and taught her something truly meaningful about living now.
