That all things must pass and are transitory is the subject of this piece. The dance of life and death is represented by the dancing skeleton. On the wall, a raccoon and a longhorn skull tell their silent story. The clock's open door symbolizes the illusory nature of time. At its base are an open compass and the skulls of a hawk, a crow and a small ceramic human skull. The dark folds of the tablecloth reveal the earth and stars; a reminder that all solid matter is energy in a state of transformation.
