IMAGO image by Lauren Rhude

Pencil sketch of a tree with branches twisting out from the trunk and a sprawling root system. The tree branches are decorated with pictures of masks. Written among the roots is "Remember your ancestors." In the foreground, in front of the roots, is a funeral procession with the deceased carried on a bier past a crowd of mourners, two of whom are labeled "imagines" and wear masks. A flute player walks alongside the bier. A single mourner stands in the bottom right corner with tears on his face.
