"Below" is based on the concept of memento mori, or "remember, you will die." The viewer starts at a staircase that spirals down into a portal formed by distorted images of the Paris Catacombs, leading into a cold, dead graveyard -- the underworld. The composition doubles as an imitation of an eyeball: the stairs acting as the sclera, the portal as the iris, and the graveyard as the pupil. As the viewer looks down the staircase, it looks back at them -- reminding them that they too will meet the fate as the dead buried in those graves.
