Near-death experience, heartbeat trace C013 / 9462
Near-death experience. Heartbeat trace recorded from left to right over time, showing a normal heartbeat (left) ceasing (flat line), followed by the resumption of electrical activity in the heart (right). This represents the phenomena where some people who have been pronounced clinically dead, or who are very close to death, return to full consciousness and report their experiences. These phenomena include detachment from the body, a sense of levitation, extreme serenity and the experience of absolute dissolution

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Near-death experience, heartbeat trace C013 / 9462" captures the profound journey of individuals on the brink of death. Against a striking black background, an intricate illustration depicts the progression of a normal heartbeat transitioning into stillness (represented by a flat line), only to be followed by the miraculous revival of electrical activity in the heart. The image symbolizes the extraordinary phenomenon where those declared clinically dead or teetering on the edge of life return to full consciousness and recount their transcendent encounters. These experiences encompass detachment from one's physical body, an ethereal sense of levitation, profound serenity, and even moments of absolute dissolution. Within this hospital setting, Stephen Wood's artwork delves into spiritual realms and challenges our understanding of existence itself. It explores concepts such as enlightenment, reincarnation, resurrection, and ascension while intertwining belief systems with medical technology. The pulsating heartbeat monitor serves as a bridge between life and death—a vital sign that holds immense significance in psychiatry and medicine. This thought-provoking composition also alludes to parapsychology theories surrounding out-of-body experiences and near-death encounters. Wood's masterful creation invites contemplation about what lies beyond our mortal boundaries—whether it be heaven or another realm altogether. It sparks curiosity about the mysteries that await us when we traverse that enigmatic staircase between life and death.
