Calaca Jugando de Poeta.

“Calaca jugando de Poeta”. (Death Playing the Poet) I created this to juxtapose poetry with death. Poetry is a reflection of life, so here, I have pictured Death, in the moment of a frustrated attempt to write poetry, in an attempt to seduce the women into the realm of death. On one side of Death, there is the apple , a symbol of sensuality, temptation and ageing, and the other, the hourglass, a symbol of the passage of time.
