I work in my freetime for the german red cross as a medic.

Last weekend a guy died in my arms after driving into a tree next to me.Tryed to help him with the others but the ambulance had to go somewhere else before because there was an accident too.So we had no equipment and after 5 Minutes he was dead.

I didnt sleep for 50 hours coz ur really shocked,ofcourse. To get finished with it i think i will make a piece about it.

Would that be despisive ?
nonethic?

I think its like if something happens to you and u talk with another person and you feel better after.I could make a piece for myself but if i dont show it its senseless.

So would that be ok ?

It's seriously only your choice to make. No one else can make it for you. Make it, and show it, or don't show it, or even don't make it. It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I say: make it !
You will feel better when you'r done. That's for sure!

Make it, why not? There's no disrespect in it. Nor does it matter. Give it a shot, see if it flies, if it crashes, let it die.

Ok, Hamster. Perhaps a little inappropriate choice of words...show a little respect.

Go for it, by all means. A lot of people express tough experiences in other forms than speech.

Do it, Soak, if you think it will help you the least little bit. Even if it doesn't, it might help someone else.

Maybe you could try to make an abstract artwork? That way you won't have to confront the event directly, but you can still express the way it made you feel at the time.

I disagree with Nilwort, if you want to deal with this in that way you�ll have to do whatever seems right to you... if you later think what you made is distasteful or unethical (which I doubt) you can always decide not to show it.

sukhoi: Dying doesn't earn my respect. I don't just give away respect...I've only got so much for people.

Do it soak ... Make it.
it may turn out to be the best piece you have ever done...
but i have a feeling that once that piece is done, it's going to be one you'll treasure.

You're an artist, do what you must!
