Curtain, The Last Case

Curtain, also "final curtain", Death.
“Curtain: Poirot's Last Case” is the last novel by Agatha Christie. Detective Poirot meets his final killer, then shoots him for justice, and kills himself meantime —— the only way to exit or back to his homeland. His death receives an obituary on the front page of The New York Times.
In the picture, we don’t know if this gentleman is in front of the stage or behind the stage, the pigeon appears in silence or makes a loud bang frightening the pigeon. In this homeland, you can be a murderer, or the opposite, a mastermind under the curtain.
Sheer Curtain

30cm x 40cm
Sheer: “not mixed with anything else; pure or complete; used to emphasize how very great, important, or powerful a quality or feeling is”
Curtain: “a piece of material, especially cloth, that hangs across a window or opening to make a room or part of a room dark or private”
Curtain is a way of seeing the city. The moment the curtain rises symbolizes the beginning of a show, rather than a close. The homeland is a private space, the person loses the connection to the outside consciously. Their activities become the sounds of the street, a symbol of the city. This homeland records every mind or thought, records each second, minute, and day.

Curtains usually refer to the stage curtain for theatre and cinema, curtains flown "in" and "out", like a scene change one by one in a film, serve as a metaphor for the boundary between life and a play, curtains show up in everyone's home.
After the miss finished poster shooting and went home. At this time, the mister was thinking about launching a new product, perhaps they've passed by each other a million times. The mister saw the miss's photo and the big shot's photo on the street. The mister is working in a cafe, and the big shot happens to be sitting next to him.
Because of the obstruction of the curtain, the stories of oneself seen in the city and those seen by others are half-understood. Their time and space are parallel and intertwined, see their possible lives from each other's eyes.
