1995 - BATHER AT THE WHITE WAVE

This canvas is arguably the most symbolic in the entire exhibition. A body, severed in two, rises within a silver tunnel amidst a white monochrome. White is associated with purity and transcendence, but also with the pallor of the dead and mourning. Therefore, it represents the death of the body, tired, damaged, split in two by the trials of life. The white wave of death opens a tunnel, with the silver color suggesting purity and purification. The body ascends in this passage, a transition to elsewhere.
