Windows Paintings
The idea of a window captured my imagination. I like that the window, in metaphor, works two ways.
Not only can others look inside, but windows offer the chance for one to look outside as well.
The ‘window’ metaphor has a long career in the history of art and, in fact, in the evolution of the human perspective in general. It has been associated with the voyeuristic and inquisitive instincts of people.
Above all, though, windows have permitted humans to experience the essence of light, and imply interaction with the unknown and with infinity.
"People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." Elisabeth Kubler- Ross
