So how would you describe the feeling just before you reach your target or wish? A wish is undoubtly something you wanted and maybe waited so long to get it. Or a target that you were pursuing for some cost. To be more realistic, this target/wish could be your career change, a project to be presented, a self-development schedule, a financial oppurtinity or a spiritual task. Well on the other hand, you may also be in the position of seeking an emotional commitment. That means apart from having targets or wishes you can be in need of things. Wheteher it is physical, phsycological or emotional, I name all these wish/target/need as "destination" for the sake of simplicity and connotation.
The scene atop may appear a little bit fearful. But think about it. You are a moment close to get or reach your destination. Some unnamed flies fills your stomach, maybe a little bit dizziness captures your mind. Not because of tiredness, instead enjoying and justifying the value of your destination. After all, it is said that how close you are to your award, makes you that much excited. The hormones in your body splashes all around, your nerves are soaked deep with chemicals. Every pump of your heart presents new refreshment to your steps. So does purple splashes, representing hormones, on the sides in the frame. They are about to wash the body as you are taking steps toward your destination.
What about the door? Well, as soon as you get to your destination, the excitement will fade away by time. So the door symbolizes a passageway. It is huge until you pass it. But some may fail here. Because, if you acctually think the door as the final destination, than you maybe stalled. Life is a path composed of many doors either created by the self or by the others. But at the end of the day, we are passing through many doors. Some of them we are aware of, but the rest they are hidden and fade away unnoticed. The door here simply plays the role of motivation. Could there be any conctradictory statement for the saying: "to step forward, the life needs a motivation"?
Here, there is one thing I couldn’t move on without stating it. Let me recall the first sentences of the paragraph above: “... as soon as you get to your destination, the excitement will fade away by time.” Maybe this means that we measure how much left to the destination by means of steps or eforts. But afterwards it is by time. Hmmm... Sorry for distraction, but this is something I should note for future reference.
And if you haven’t noticed yet, there are a couple of hands at the top of the door. What if your destination is looking for you to get into? To be released, maybe it needs you as well...
The overall scene is dark, but the light is at the other side of the door. This is true if you are on a voyage. You get tired. But your rest awaits you at the destination.
I hope you enjoyed this abstraction. Please leave any constructive criticism you may have to the comments secion.
