The painting shows a cropped image of a sculpture of Christ holding the Sacred Heart. The image reference is from a sculpture found in a cemetery near Albie's hometown in Spain. The painting is painted in dark tones of blue due to the mournful origins of the source image. The painting attempts to make the viewer reflect upon their own mortality and the meaning of the symbols that will adorn their grave. This work is one of the last works inspired by faith-based religion.
