Life is our greatest journey. It's still a question what happens after life. I also asked it in my image. Where do we go, and why? How? I tried to depict a vision in my entry. Heaven and hell are symbols of good and bad. I tried to avoid to create a simply religion based image. It's much more about a choice between two poles. This choice is heavy just as many of them in our life. Sometimes these decisions are scary for us, although these are also determinating the way we live. The journey we begin all the times with that decision.
Real life's connections are symbolized by ECG cables, these are kind of connections with reality. I labelled them with latin names of seven sins and virtues. Blood on tiles is symbolic too its signification about life and death are the same in many cultures. Roller-coaster theme is coming from everydays up and down feelings. Just as a visulaized amplitude of moods changin day after day. Hospital bed is chosen because it's a powerful narrative element. Explains the situation of this person's health condition.
