This work is a painting about life. The blooming plants and burning airplane are shown as contrasting symbols of life.
Made in my younger days, the meticulously painted growth and aflame airplane carry a meaning of worldly disorder amid nature which remains unchanged in contrast to the matters of humans.
With no regard for the presence of anyone at all, quiet nature endlessly continues on regenerating.
