The coffin of Horank
The Coffin of Horank is a part of Dallas museum of art. This museum has a web-based digital media library (on itunes' podcasts).
Those artistic voices is an important contribution of the museum.
It's important for museum education technology model for greater access to programming and information about the collections.
I'll try to explain to you what the podcast says :
In the inscrptions at the button of the coffin we can see the name of Horank & Osiris, the gard of the afterworld.
The figure represents the momie. The face is Osiris and green because
egyptians believe in rebirth & in the afterlife and the green is the
color of the birth.
All in this figure indicates that it's a royal firgure : the beard, the hair for example.
In this figure what really identify immortal life are the eyes because they are wide open to the internal life.

Hidden Meanings in arts
The vision of Jesus Moroles is to give too much information & people have to made their own solutions.
He learns more about the work from other people.
For him, you can know more about a person by his work than other things.
The explanation is not on work it's on experience on work.
When you told them what it is you take the mystery out of it.
Granite stone
The granite sculptor Jesus Moroles said that he changed his perspective
now he wants to speak to him, he thinks that it's not just a piece of
rock he thinks that he is the stone.
He realized a connection between him & a stone when hi was
working
with the stone he
didn't realized that there
was 25 persons around him.
Houston Police Memorial

It's growing out of the ground.
When you look it from the sky, it's a cross.
