MAGIC REALISM
Predominant grey colors of sinister, univers of disappearance in punishment and suffering.
The wolf-allegory is in lifeless landscape, desert, swamp, mud, fog, rain of fire.
The decomposed animal holds his evil destiny of disapearing in despair,
in an infinite perspective of time and space.
This transmutation from Dante's conception is an"ECHO" of underworld-pain:
"LASCIATE OGNI SPERANZA VOI CHE ENTRATE"
