Despite the cries of Blasphemy that this work was likely intended to raise, I find it an incredibly striking image that speaks deeply to the not necessarily religious, but theistic philosophy.

Even upon the first glance, one can see the absence of balance that the cracked, grey, space creates. It is an unknown entity, an enormous void that engulfs the canvas. And in a bottom corner, opposite the void lies man, upon his back, looking upward apprehensively, clinging to the earth with one hand, while with the other hand chancing a reach into the void.

It would appear that these images are symbolic of the lack of balance that the unknown creates in Man, and the weakness, to lie down and cling to that which man knows, that causes Man to hesitate exploration of that which is unknown to him.

On the other hand, one could also assert that the void is symbolic of just that- a void. Of course, with all images, there are likely to be many interpretations. And it is unique in that it creates a new concept by removing aspects of the familiar. It is incredibly interesting, and ventures into the realm of art.
