In "Wanderer's Dream II," Rita Adams creates a dreamlike landscape where an ethereal ladder, composed of misty, translucent steps, stretches upwards, enveloping the dreamer at its base. The piece, part of Jacob's Ladder collection, uses subtle blues and whites to craft a tranquil yet mysterious atmosphere, blending reality with imagination. The ladder symbolizes life's journey and the quest for higher understanding, capturing a moment of introspection between grounded reality and infinite possibilities. Adams' use of encaustic media blurs the lines between the tangible and the ethereal, exploring the boundless potential of the human spirit.
