A cairn of you

Description

This is just one of the pieces of the incoming series of drawings with this kind of subject, which is.. hard to explain xD
They are heads mostly, blended with the landscape, they ARE the landscape. Pieces of rock, trees, homes..
I don't know when I started to do that or why, maybe because of the connection I have with my land, that is part of me the same as I am part of it.
Common elements in these works will be the body as part of the nature, the nature as part of the soul, and the landscape as part of the identity of every human being.

In this particular work the main character might be Death. There is this huge head /cairn, a sort of crypt perhaps, It just make me think that it could conceal a dead body. I'm not a religious man, despite that cross on top of it, which is just a symbol, and I feel like the soul is something that belong to the nature along with our body.
But, basing on all the elements above I will let to you guys the task to interpret this picture in the way you better feel it.

the way i interpreted this is that death is part of the nature... this is a really interesting concept and i love the art itself too :D (Big Grin)
