Description
Number 4 in the series of 4.
"In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In this painting, the stripping away of the cloth, the hallmark of society, could also embody the stripping off of the mask of the world. Only at death are we freed of the constraints, the ties of the world. This effervescent explosion of destiny is just about to occur in this, the last of the series. We are one with the Light. But is death necessary to discover this rebirth? Perhaps not. As the circle motif gently surrounds the figure, it could again be the symbol of the womb, or the mirror of self-discovery, the liberation and education of a heart and mind.
"Quae Fuit Durum Pati Meminisse Dulce Est."
"What was hard to bear is sweet to remember."
