"[A] figure in starting runner's position on top of a blue electrical pole. Red background with multicolor transparent stars,
orange plus and minus signs on lower left and right of image--eye with a circle on top of pole..." "Man awaits not knowing
for his AIDS test results, not knowing what the outcome will be. He feels the watchful eye of everyone around him. He's
in a situation from which he can't run away from. The sky becomes his blood stream and the stars he white cells, some are
fading away as they are killed by the virus. The electrical pole represents the similarity of the positive and negative energies
that flow in our bodies." M. Reyes.
