"Forlorn" is a series of seven images, reflecting the seven stages of mankind. It takes its title from John Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale" (1819).

   The same that oft-times hath

         Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam

             Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.

Forlorn! the very word is like a bell

         To toll me back from thee to my sole self!

This series concerns the theme of life in spite of death, and death in spite of life...
