This series addresses universal themes of existence, transience, and loss. It challenges the central premise of Existentialism—“existence precedes essence”—and suggests the opposite: essence precedes existence. In other words, we are the product of our seed. With this perspective, the burden of responsibility shifts to the forces of chance and fate rather than resting solely on individual choice.
