The New York Times – Op-Ed – Are ‘Near Death Experiences’ Real 2020

Owen Gent's 2020 illustration, "The New York Times – Op-Ed – Are ‘Near Death Experiences’ Real," depicts a figure in white, seemingly floating upwards, against a dark blue background. The figure's white form contrasts sharply with a large, dark, and almost featureless silhouette in the foreground. The composition evokes a sense of ascension and the unknown, and the image is suggestive of the concept of near-death experiences and the transition between life and death. The artwork was created for an opinion piece in The New York Times, which indicates a potential connection to the piece's subject matter.
