Q41: Beyond Death

How do you imagine existence after you have taken your last breath?

Nonetheless, those who have depicted the earthly and celestial realms of the dead throughout history, provide compelling evidence that this perennial quandary fits securely within the zone of human imagining. This publication presents eight original artworks that envision the hereafter.
