"At Eternity's Gate"

Have you ever thought about your own death? Or how would you feel when you'd be dying? And where would you go? How your death is gonna happen? What would be your last breath?
I think everyone thinks about it, but at night when you're about to sleep, a sudden anxiety attack bewitches completely. It's a sensation which is difficult to put into words.
But this piece of van Gogh does!

Direction to the Inspiration

Hey chain artists!👋
I'm first time here in this community, I don't know whether my work fits here or not 🙃.
Today I finally used charcoal pencils, which i had bought ages ago (and I'm 100% sure that this is not just me😂).
So I had thought to sketch (could not say it to be a recreation, because I can't 🙌) this famous painting.
Van Gogh had this perfection of portraying deep feelings. And there was this Urdu poetry(national language of Pakistan) that's stuck in my head, and it's very similar to what I sais in the first paragraph.
It goes as:

"Afraid of the unsaid
Afraid of the moment
That has not yet arrived
Afraid of even the awareness
Of the coming of that moment"

Translation cannot explain it's true essence, but i wanted you to know it.

Let's Begin

I honestly cannot explain each step as I was experimenting on them for the first time. But I think each photo is self explanatory:

I didn't notice that there was an sketched eye behind this 🥲

Lastly I attached it in my journal.

So how was this?

I really wanna know that how you guys perceive death!
