Xenia with Fresh Cut Poppy Seed Capsule and Demonstration "Röd Front 1:a Maj 1970, Hötorget", is a variation on the larger Xenia series. The motif is derrived from two different sources, one is an interpreation of a demonstration documented by artist's father, the other is a fresh cut poppy capsule, wich adds to the imagery other layers of meaning, and time, the demontration being a past time, a histortic time, and the capsule the present time of a still life. The capsule itslef follows upon the artist's use of heroine related elements, which are comon throughout the Xenia series.
