This painting illustrates in the dark night of the soul how god or the universe is against you. Or is pouring his wrath on you, waters symbolize the turbulence in one’s consciousness while the burnt patches symbolize all of the life circumstances that we perceive that were broken, stolen and burned from situations and people. Yet the ship, the self, continues to move through the wavey turbulence of life. The roses speak of how beautiful life really is. Yet they are unperceivable and burnt and the colour of life is muted. The roses symbolize the potential beauty of life and when life hits hard the perceptual beauty of life is muted. The burns are the scars that made you.
