In an apocalyptic setting, we have man and a skeleton. The man is wearing a gas mask, which is reasonable because of the setting. His arms are open. The buildings behind him are crooked. There is a beam of sunlight coming down. In that beam is a skeleton. The skeleton has three red balloons tied to it and a baseball cap. The skeleton appears to be ascending.
I enjoy this piece because it has such amazing detail. It makes me feel calm, almost emotionless itself. The colors really have a feel of isolation and emptiness. If an emotion could be grasped from this piece it most definitely would be along the lines of something upsetting. And the background definitely fits that emotion as well.
I could have no idea what was running through this artist's head, I can only understand what runs through mine as I look at this image. I see something that represents coming to terms. Letting things go. When the world around you is crumbling down, you can't hold onto things. It is better to let it go and move on as a happier person.
I love this piece. I enjoy how the red balloons stand out and how the background is foggy. The apocalyptic setting is truly grasped.I see nothing wrong with this.
