Original artwork description:

I am an avid fan of Paul Gauguin the 19th century artist known for his Tahitian paintings. A painting titled "Spirit of the Dead Watching" influenced this painting. Here shadow filled corners of the night mingle with the phantasms of dreams. And windows open into other worlds.
