The Silent Voice of Nature
The entity travels on an endless road of time and space. The dark, undulating line shows the continuous path of life and afterlife, with an exchange of bodies at each crossing of the red timeline. The similar curves along the dark line represent the constant alternation of wakefulness and sleep. The waves within these curves depict the basic life need of breathing in and breathing out. Water evaporates and collects in a cloud, whereupon it falls back to earth as rain and begins another cycle, continually repeating itself. The leafless branches suggest a similar structure of roots underground, unseen but essential for life. The buried jug is a symbol of knowledge: it is in all of us, but must be unearthed to be used. The mountain ranges represent the series of ascents and descents in life as we travel through the valleys of forgetfulness.
(The original painting is from the private collection of Janet Orion of Asheville, North Carolina.)
