Liberation from Past Illusions

Memory is like a cemetery of illusions. No matter which way you have turned your head, look up and forward!

Visual Description

An upside-down man is suspended by one foot from a rope, his other leg bent beneath him and his arms folded behind his head. He is bare-chested and wears light trousers, lying above a scattering of human skulls and bones. Two hands descend from above, adjusting or holding the rope, while reeds and twilight sky appear in the background. The frame shows the Roman numeral XII at top and bottom.
