E X I T Ambiguity is sometimes important to an artist. This is one of those cases, so very little back story will be provided on what exactly inspired this work of art. I want viewers to explore their own interpretations.  exit is an artistic representation of a bruise. More often than not, it is perceived simply as a bold colored koi fish and nothing more. But upon sharing its true meaning, people’s impressions of the painting change dramatically. We have all had a bruise. They start as a visually hidden pain, but over time, as our blood slowly percolates beneath the surface of our skin, they reveal themselves. If severe enough, they appear in various shades of fuchsia, purple, and even black. The koi’s multilayered background is symbolic of this phase of bruising. As a bruise heals, it turns green, yellow and everything in between. It looks unhealthy, but at this point the pain has dulled and full recovery is close at hand. Interpret exit any way you would like. If you choose to apply the meaning shared, let it be a comfort to that you are not alone. Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever it is that brings you pain, literal or figurative,
I hope you find the exit. I would love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment.
