Jonny Boy has his arms stretched forward toward the viewer.
He holds several objects in his right hand and a skull in his left hand. The objects represent the memory of a life lived and the skull represents the end of a life lived, death. In the center is Jonny Boy, embodiment of the inner child, the child of all, the child of all times. From Jonny Boy's point of view, life flows from right to left, backward, while from the viewer's point of view it flows from left to right, forward. Memory objects are charged with energy and contain the very nature of the memory, of the fact that happened. They are the witnesses of the experience and contain a set of elements, they are the trigger to return to retrieve forgotten or dormant emotions and sensations, colors, sounds, scents, atmospheres, details of the place where they were used or handled. As a counterpart there is the skull, a symbol of the end of a life lived that has been spent and consumed and is over.
