The painting is about love and the possibilities it holds. The boy in the foreground is looking both ways—into the past and the future—and he has made the choice to move toward the future. The spirit of the gate to infinity, has opened the door for him, inviting him to seek adventure. The house symbolises belonging and comfort, while the bird, ablaze with lava fire, is determinedly flying toward love. Love is right beside the bird. Are you ready for an adventure?
