In To Be Lived, Matthew F Fisher presents two symmetrical shells floating side by side against a serene turquoise backdrop. Rendered with luminous detail, the shells evoke themes of connection and duality, existing as remnants of life lived and preserved. Their mirrored placement suggests a quiet relationship—two forms in harmony, yet distinct—inviting reflection on the bonds we share and the marks left behind by time.

Fisher’s precise brushwork and refined use of color lend the composition a meditative quality, while the minimalistic framing emphasizes the interplay between form and space. The work’s themes of pairing and enduring presence offer a contemplative perspective on shared existence and the passage of time.
