Little Ark Carries, 2020.
Oil on Canvas, 24 inch * 30 inch with width 1.5 inch
The Little Ark starts small at the right lower corner as a horizontal crescent shape (clear). As the ark sails to the left becoming yellow in color, and further left becoming greater ark (closer in distance) colored in yellow and pink.
The movement of water is drawn as horizontal lines. Meanwhile, the royal blue and the cerulean blue shapes are the movement of sky that is changing in color. A rising sun (the light orange) is at the right upper quadrant and is followed by a falling crescent moon (clear, no color) at the right middle area, while the sun is setting with its shine (the pink rays) lingering on the surface of the ocean. It suggests the Ark is sailing day and night without rest.
This “Little Ark Carries” represents the meaning of Little Ark that carries the hopes of Artist W’s dream to reunite with her family. She hopes to be able to travel across the ocean regardless of the lengthy days and nights, longing to reunite with her family in safety.
There is an upper body of a man on the right, with dark brown beard, a red cap and an ear stud (the red dot) wearing the cerulean blue shades next to the sun (the orange at right upper corner).
This mysterious man is depicted as an imaginary God Artist W whom she seeks protection during this sail in the painting.
