Out-of-body state, conceptual artwork. This state is sometimes reported by those near death, represented by the pearly gates to heaven. Some experience the sensation that they are walking around outside their bodies, a condition known as autoscopy.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This conceptual artwork titled "Out-of-body state" takes us on a thought-provoking journey into the realm of near-death experiences. Against a clean white background, we are presented with an illustration that symbolizes the ethereal transition between life and afterlife. A female figure, seemingly in a spiritual state, stands at the pearly gates to heaven. With wings adorning her back, she represents the human connection to divinity and transcendence. This image evokes feelings of wonder and curiosity about what lies beyond our mortal existence. The artwork explores the phenomenon known as autoscopy, where individuals report feeling detached from their bodies during near-death encounters. It delves into the neurological aspect of this condition by highlighting how sensory integration failure can lead to such out-of-body experiences. Through its powerful symbolism and intricate details, this piece invites contemplation on themes like religion, death, spirituality, and mental states. It encourages us to question our understanding of life's mysteries while acknowledging that there may be more than meets the eye. Science Photo Library presents this profound visual representation as an exploration rather than a commercial endeavor. Its purpose is not only to captivate but also to ignite conversations about these complex topics that have fascinated humanity for centuries.
