The inhabitants in creation are cast into the elixir of blood to emerge victoriously by overcoming the Conquistador that resides within the hidden crevices of the mind, body and soul. The symbolism shown transcends the charcoal burnings consumed in masculine force and enraptured by the feminine energy through uncontrollable passion. The conflicted nature of mankind to conquer and destroy in order to dominate the earth is reflected from the shadows in the mirrored images of destruction set ablaze in Conquistador. The redemption in heavenly bliss is presented through the spirit detaching from the physical construction freely. The fox traps the fox as the horse power of the raging soul races through the heart seeking Paradise in the hell created by the Inferno. The profound act of releasing and letting go is expressed by the spirits rising. |
