Why does the death smell so sweet?

Working title: “The Three-Body Problem”
I spent two months working on this embroidery while listening to the audiobook of the science fiction novel trilogy by the Chinese writer Liu Cixin. The embroidery itself describes coping with one’s own mortality, but I will forever associate it with topics such as the death of civilization and the end of the universe. How does one think of own death, when civilization is facing extinction, when the end is not anymore a postponed abstract concept left to the future generations?
