This painting by Ginny Casey is a dark and brooding meditation on mortality. A red rib cage and broken rib bone rest before a mirror with hands, but instead of seeing a reflection, we see a still life of broken dreams. The painting is a reminder that we are all mortal and that our physical bodies will eventually decay. It is also a reminder that we are all interconnected and that we are all part of the same cycle of life and death.

This is a powerful reminder that we should not take ourselves too seriously and that we should enjoy the time we have on this earth. I like this painting because it is both beautiful and disturbing. It is a reminder of our own mortality, but it is also a reminder that we are all part of something larger than ourselves.
