  1. My favorite is the fist one show under Bolivian Mask. It is at 2:09 seconds.It's spikes that run between the eyes to me represents the pain in life but all of the beautiful and bright colors surrounding it represents the joy in life or the happiness that eventually comes from that pain. This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, "At the end of every storm there is a rainbow."
