The image depicts the peak of Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano, shrouded in dark shadows. The work exemplifies his signature style and features one of his most common subjects: a volcano. After the eruption of the Parícutin volcano in Michoacán, Dr. Atl studied volcanoes extensively, observing their growth. The title expresses his affection for volcanoes as a declaration of love.
