The painting retells the dream I had the night after 9/11, and is the reason why I have chosen the Trade Towers burning as the backdrop to this work.
"I am in my bed at night. I hear coyotes in the distance. There's a window at the foot of the bed and a light in the sky, shinning in. I sense there's something out there. I move toward the window and as I do I am sucked out the window, and I begin falling into endless darkness!
I am falling down, down into the deep darkness. I feel like screaming, but then I remind myself I am dreaming. At this point I become lucid.
I can see and feel everthing slow, and I stop falling. I ask, "What's out there for me?" I deman, "Show me! Show Me!" Then, I begin to move upward. I see the stars as i am traveling up to the heavens. Then uge metal discs with alien writing start moving up around me. I yell once more, "Show Me!" — I even say this out loud in waking reality and I wake myself up.."
