It is unclear as to whether this figure is walking down a lamplit urban street at night, or on a moonlit beach, or perhaps even on the ocean floor under water. The deep blue atmosphere provides a sublime contemplative space. The vertical grain in the texture of the surface emphasises the spiritual, but also the figure’s entrapment in the successive moments of time. Thus, there is an ambiguity or oscillation between the eternal and the temporal. The figure seems to be dissolving into the uncertain scene, or emerging from it, perhaps suggesting that some sort of transformation of the mind, soul or spirit has, or is, or is about to take place.
