This piece was commissioned by a friend and collector in Paris.

He wrote a poem a few years back.

I was trying to portray his feelings abouit life and death. He was trying to remind himself that life is short, and to seize the moment!

He sees himself changing into another form after death and becoming part of the earth and everything in it.

There is a constant construction and deconstruction of life and our planet. There are no rules. Everything changes, everyone is different. .

Your view of life after death may differ but it may only makes sense to you, within your context, your own ideas of life and death .

I'd like to quote a few lines from his poem : "There is no other place, there is no else-where

So Sing!"
