The painter Anselm Kiefer has painted bricks being sun-dried in the fields of India before they are fired in kilns. These bricks look like a pile of ruins from a long-forgotten structure. Only the bricks are not ruins. They are 'pregnant' bricks which have not yet been given a form to exist as. Nobody has yet asked these 'pregnant' bricks what they want to be. Even before they are 'born' these bricks take the form of the dying in a strange loop of existence. This beauty of a pregnant death foretells why death is inherent in all things born.
