The original motive of this painting is a running along the forest path soul/spirit from the unknown and unseen dark source. It is an escape from nowhere to somewhere. It is a visualization of an impulse of the soul. It is a breakthrough from the darkness. The soul has escaped, it is free. In the sky on the left there is an eye that stakes out the running spirit.
In other interpretations there is a boat floating in a river into the darkness. Here, an eye could be perceived as a mountain. On the left bottom side you can distinguish sakura trees.
If you rotate the painting to the right 90 degrees you can see everything falling into the dark materia that forever grasps it. If you rotate it again 90 degrees, there is a blowout, a splash, where everything is falling out from nowhere, the unknown dark place, into somewhere, into the space.
And lastly, if you rotate it one more time to the right 90 degrees, you will see a slightly leaning tree, upon which a pelican is walking upwards, or it is not a tree at all. It is a bigger bird of prey in disguise. The trunk on the tree on which the pelican is walking is actually the neck of a predatory creature.
In different lightning conditions and different positions, this painting reflects different themes, and obviously everyone perceives and notices different things.
