The title of the work is derived from the epic poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake. The door in the wall, represents a world beyond, perceived by the mystic. It does not appear in its entirety, which suggests it can appear in its entirety or disappear completely, depending on the observer. The bloody grass and the path through it, represents the struggle to get there. Simultaneously the door represents the entrance to Nirvana and the bloody grass represents Samsara, the cycle of birth and death. The image of the bloody grass is derived from 'All Grass is Flesh', from Isaiah 40:6, which is interpreted to mean that human life is transitory.
