세상과마주하는순간부터살아움직이기시작하는모든것은어떤외부의힘으로통제할수가없다.생명체스스로만들어가는여정은누구도계획할수도,예단할수도없다.그것을운명이라고말하는이도있다.어디로어떻게굴러갈지모르는수수께끼같은운명,그래서한생명이태어나거나진실이밝혀지는순간은언제나경이롭고짜릿하다.

생명을가진모든존재는본의아니게죽음을향하고있다.저마다의삶,그길에서죽음으로인한이별을접할때아프지않을수없다.잠시먼저가있을뿐이라해도당장의헤어짐은아프고,당장의부재는허전하기마련이다.〈작가의말중에서〉

여섯모양새의다른죽음이야기를통하여,어떤죽음이나그본질이주위사람들의삶의의미에다가와닿을때누군가에게는위로를주고,또누군가에게는삶의복원력을줄수있다는메시지를조심스럽게감각적이고독특한시각으로풀어내고있다.
