In the main composition of the painting dominate 3 women, a big red figure on the right, a pink one in the center and a green-orange on the left side. These figures depict 3 different types of female zombies, with the pink one dancing, the green covering herself and the red one romantically gazing the ink figures on the sky. For once more I repeatedly write-draw creatures at the same time, writing the phrase “zombies the joys of death”. There is of course a immediate relation by the title to H.Matisse painting “the joy of life”. Zombies show us a world of happiness, laying on the grass, or floating on the sky, even dancing, relaxed enjoying death. How we feel, if zombies, as a species is having fun away from human beings? If they are no threat to humans then what’s next? Can we accept the freedom of others or we constantly need to be opposite of and to something.
