This painting depicts a balance
between sadness and optimism. The sadness is evident as the individual
contemplates the grave of a loved one. The dead tree accentuates the
feeling of grief, which is felt by the individual. The eye in the sky
sheds a tear which will reverse the dryness that overpowers the land. This
land also represents the life of the individual and the crack represents a
negative situation, which in this case is the lost of that loved one. The
optimistic part of this painting is that the mourning of the eye in the
sky, along with the passage of time, will irrigate the soil and distribute
life through that harsh dessert.
Overall, this painting symbolizes the renewal that arrives as a result of
being in touch with one’s emotions and that after every difficult
situation in life, there is a new beginning.
