Damien Hirst uses the subject of Death in most of his pieces, whether it's a discussion or a problem. In many cases, alike his "for the love of god" diamond encrusted skull, it's
symbolic of the way society deals with death in Mexico, treating the occasion more as an embrace, rather than a fear. With Hirst's spot paintings he again revisits the concept of death but creates it in a repetitious manner, being an immortal piece which, according to Hirst, will probably carry on till he dies.
With my idea in mind I want to invoke a sense of Death, not to necessarily consume the piece, but to give it a rightful place. The variation of something so aesthetically simple is something I will include in my work with the idea of death, immortality, society, immigration and others being the crux.
