EXITUS, a pen and ink graphic illustration to a poem by the same title, is the work of James Ronald Barlett.

In attempt to visually portray the Schopenhauerian doctrine of the principle of individuation and man's unsuccessful effort to overcome separation in the universe, be it through love, religion, or art. Through any one of these acts, man can lift the Mayan Veil which separates him/her from the eternal, finding therein momentary union with the All.
