To swim in the sea during the summer, on an evening when it's late and the sunset lights up the sky, turning it golden. A dreamlike landscape, isn't it? But the sea is black, and bodies seem to be divided in two. So maybe the bath isn't so tranquil, maybe life roughs us up, and trials leave us torn, with our hearts in pieces. But perhaps, if we look upwards beyond the waves, the sky, revealing itself, has the purity of gold. And maybe, if we dive into the vast golden monochrome, we can find the spark of what represents the divine for us.
The painting is black and gold. Black is a color when we're scared and sad. And if we're sad, we might feel like we're in a thousand pieces. Like the characters in the painting. But there's a solution. If we look upwards, then we can see a big golden sky. Just by looking differently, everything becomes magical, like gold.
