Doctora Lakra,
although you welcome wisdom,
you perceive your end.

    I agree with Lyle in that we all are skeletons under this skin or ours and as scary as it may be, we will all one day be there. I think that Dia de Los Muertos has taught me to not be afraid as our souls will always be. I like your poster. Happy Sunday to you.

    I absolutely adore this piece. It never occurred to me that this could be a way to make a skull. I’ll have to try.

    A fascinating but disturbing poster! I guess it could be viewed as another symbol of yin and yang!

    This is brilliant. And I think it serves as a reminder to live in the moment. ;))

    It is fitting with the Halloween holiday! A bit frightful for sure! Great capture and haiku. Happy Ruby Tuesday and have a great day!

    Great portrait. much is different, but that’s only on the outside we sang when I grew up.
