This work represents the meeting of two spirits. Both artists are reflected in the stylistic aspects of the image: the tree and the landscape setting embody Lawrence Lowe’s composition while the eye and the northwest coast wolf in the landscape reflect Watts’ cultural heritage. The skull is new to both of them, merging Lowe’s realism and Watts’ stylistic northwest coast raven. The converging of two spirits necessitates the death of something old to make way for the birth of something new. This natural transformation manifests here with the bare tree, the skull, the bodies in the hills, and the wolf depicted as just a shadow. Rather than an ending, death is a beginning.
