Photo images including a skull and a spine, superimposed over a hand, against a red and black background

A photo montage is centered within a background formed by a mottled black rectangle atop a mottled red rectangle. At center, is a high contrast black and white photograph of a withered human hand, its palm facing us, thumb and fingers pointing downward against a shadowy, grainy background. Superimposed over the fingers of the hand, is a cut out sepia toned photo of a human skull, which is placed in front of a spine and pelvis laid out horizontally.
