John 21:3, 5-6, 11
3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. 6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.
Circle of Life
By turning the painting, one will discover an interactive metaphor of a cyclical nature of life—from birth to old age. Upside down, the blue embryos symbolize the beginning of life, a time of a new creation and expansion, and as we turn the painting, the vivid yellow profiles of children appear reminding us of innocence and wonder. If we continue turning the painting, the stage of maturity and loyalty get revealed by a couple in love, whereas the last stage of life symbolizing old age completes the full circle with two profiles in the shadows underneath the embryos.
