Decay

A landscape of cactuses and giant mushrooms of varying colors. A large dragonfly is in the forefront, a human skull is in the bottom left corner with a dung beetle beside it and a purple centipede in the right corner. A moth flies near the dragonfly and there are vultures perched on cactuses and on the skull. A brief poem starts at the top and is interspersed with the images. It reads: This decadent decay luxuriating in the rot feasting on death converting it back into life.
