Words Seldom Seen: Senescence

Senescence

Example: “Wrinkles are a form of age related senescence in all humans.”

The photo is a detail of the mural by Thomas Breeze Marcus at S’edav Va’aki Museum. If you look at the white bracelet it appears to be three dimensional. It is not. It’s just the way Breeze did the shading behind it. Very cool. See the entire mural here.
