Consult your death (1991)
acrylic on canvas, 65x85 cm

Death is always close, at your left shoulder he waits for the moment that he can touch you. That's the sign that it's time to die. Death is an advisor. An immense amount of pettiness and self-importance is dropped when we become aware of our death stalking us. (Source: Journey to Ixtlan - the Lessons of Don Juan, by Carlos Castaneda) The egg and the long hair are symbols of vitality and life.
