In French, "Lutte contre la mort" means, "battling death" or, "fight against death". In English, this painting is named "Night Discus", referencing the act of throwing a projectile into the night sky. This painting was inspired by a photograph of a protester somewhere in the world. The protester wears a handkerchief to protect him or her from teargas and at the same time hide their identity. The protester is an iconic image and the protest is an iconic theme. It is a fight against pollution, against the dying of ideals and against the dying of freedom. The figure is illuminated by a radioactive light in front of a sunset set against Montreal's cityscape and is protesting for justice.
