What advice would your 80-year-old self give you? That is the question artist Susan O’Malley, who was herself to die far too young, asked more than a hundred ordinary people of every age, from every walk of life. She then transformed their responses into vibrant text-based images.
PASCAL, 8 YEARS OLD
“This is your life. Love it.”
BAILEY, 19 YEARS OLD
” You’re okay”
SEBASTIAN, 37 YEARS OLD
“You don’t need to know where are you going.”
CATHERINE, 45 YEARS OLD
“It will be better than you imagined.”
KAREN, 51 YEARS OLD
“Nothing will be what you expected.”
