Story / Additional InfoFrom a series title "The Red Line Series' explores the divide between life and death. The figure in the top right appears to be asleep and dreaming but also stands for the state of awareness of the fragile thread of life and death. The angel is holding the red line which divides the dreamer from waking and sleeping or possibly living and dying. The eggs are recurrent images in the artist's oeuvre representing the continuum of life. The sacred heart has spiritual connotations, with the fire rising from its center that straddles the two halves of the painting. The cactus is another recurring image in the artist's work.
