A sense of vulnerability can be
felt by looking at the person who has reached the top of a mountain and is
now trapped in a dangerous situation. The only escape from this situation
is to accept the help of others or surrendered to a higher power. This
could have been the feeling of those unfortunate souls who experienced the
attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Further
observation of the painting reveals faces in the clouds and the reflection
in the water of the burning towers. This painting reflects on the
acceptance and need for other people's help, especially during difficult
situations.
