Description: Synthetic canvas panels adhered to a Chicano Park freeway column. A green lightning bolt pierces a heart. Lettering thereupon reads "La Vida". An elderly woman reads the rest of the composition, which is minimally chromatic, in two. This features a malicious-looking skeleton most prominently. An elephant is suggested, with a manacle reading "Cop". Also present are the Statue of Liberty, a person wearing a gas mask, and the numbers "187".
