Eleven (11) notes from the Funeral March cascade down from the top of the painting, to
be replaced by the sound of wailing sirens emanating from the two dogs at the bottom,
as Manhattan's skyline goes up in an atomic explosion. The destruction of New York City
is now imminent. Number 11 is symbolic of transition, excess, peril and disorder. This
number also has an infernal character since it is in excess of ten (10) - perfection.
Therefore, it also stands for incontinence.
Man wanders, head down and aimlessly, through a dying world portrayed as a
cemetery, unaware of impending destruction, often more interested in watching his dog
defecate.
