Have a Nice Death
Collettivo Ruth
2025

The body is our first home and our last certainty.

With an innate impulse to survive, to persist, it is the tangible boundary between ourselves and the world. Yet there comes a moment when the foundations of this home begin to waver, when the will to live crumbles and the line between presence and absence grows thin.

As unspeakable as it is universal, suicide is a voiceless enigma, an unexplored place—yet we can tell of the moments that precede it: the fragile balance between the desire to exist and the need to vanish, the invisible dance between light and shadow in a suspended space, where the boundary between life and death thins and where the question is not the end, but the path that brushes against it.

A portrait of an identity utterly lost before the final act.
