I find this picture particularly beautiful. Unfortunately, it also makes me think about the difference between reality and fantasy. I try to picture the man in the painting as having searched for his one, true love....a goddess of the sea. In this painting, he has found her....but what next? This painting captures a moment in time. What happens when they break their embrace? Do they run off happily ever after? Or does she tell him that the sea is her one, true love and, since he is human, they can never be together? Does he follow her anyway, drowning in the sea? Or, does he leave and forget her, knowing that she is right and that they can not be together?
Questions. No answers. If you could lock yourself into one moment in time, which moment would you choose? Why? And, an even more important question - would your partner choose the same moment?
Lots of things to think about.
