The eye as the window to the soul reflects the sadness that lies within. Within the eye’s iris one can see a person remembering a loved one who lies in the grave. A sorrow brought by the loss of a loved one. Here the artist, in addition to expressing his own sadness, empathizes with everyone who has lost a loved one or something important. It serves as motivation to passionately pursue one’s dreams and never forget the positive and negative lessons in life. The artist created this painting while grieving the loss of his mother to cancer, which moved him to adopt a renewed passion for living a fruitful life.
