"BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS"
oil on canvas, 2016
Water represents obstacles from which things emerge or that characters must journey across to reach a destination, and mysterious places handling difficult life scenarios. A simmering confrontation is typically attributed to conflicting sovereignty claims and emerging power imbalance. Those issues not only prolong the struggle but also enlarge the meaning of conflict, which involves nothing less than the future. Water is also a symbol of power and symbolizes the spiritual cleansing. The Bridge acts as a potential for realizing a connection and a virtual integration. It is a robust approach to resolving conflicts, and gives an indication of strength of connection necessary to make changes in our lives, a Symbol of rising above one’s circumstances, and crossing over to a new beginning and new place in life. The light is the pathway and a link between the Spiritual realm above with the realm of matter below, it’s signified the end of the voyage and a return to calmness and peace. The passing of invisible light through water particles is a manifested “appearance” of invisible Deity in the physical realm. And , just as turbulent storms are necessary for Nature to cleanse and feed the Earth, so too are emotional storms necessary in our lives in order to cleanse away our burdens and feed our souls. hhh
