500 4 x 6" mixed media w/ collage on paper artworks for the exhibit: A Book About Death - The Last Waltz. 

There are multiple conceptual layers to this series and all 500 artworks are to be viewed as life: a stream of moments. 

This is also the 10th anniversary commemorative exhibit of the 2009 A Book About Death (Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery - NY, NY) in which I also participated by creating 500 original artworks.
