Oil on canvas
Beneath the red arch, where the sky meets the sea, it is not only a duck that sleeps – a human being sleeps there within themselves as well. This is not a bird that dreams, but a soul seeking balance between two worlds.
The outwardly strong and flowing form conceals a delicate, contemplative profile, just as we carry within ourselves two essences: the visible and the hidden.
The sea symbolizes the subconscious, the island a distant longing, and the sun a quiet hope. The duck does not fly but bends inward – the dream does not lead away, but deeper into oneself.
The painting speaks of the unity between human and nature, of an inner journey, and of how dreams connect forms that seem separate when we are awake.
