Description

The waves meet the shore as the sky meets the horizon. Such is the promise of freedom. Rosalind’s picture has always indicated a sense of freedom. Similarly, the human mind knows no bounds. It tends to thrive freely thus giving birth to the very concept of creativity.

This abstract piece is a playful depiction of freedom. A simple painting of the twilight sky with waves crashing on the shores and birds finding their way back home leaves a lasting impact on the beholders. Even in its simplicity, the color grading along with the mix of various contrasts adds to the aesthetic. The dusky sky is engulfed with a lot of reddish suffused with a slight essence of lilac and black implying the approaching nightfall. The shores have a mix of yellow ochre and black shades with a soft brush stroke that amalgamates gloriously with the sleeping sun. The distant lands use a unique cool black shade of blue that is seen to rest with the horizon afar.

As we drown in the aesthetics of this abstract piece, one can’t help but relate with the birds flying high in the sky. The sense of liberty to find a path for oneself is the true sense of freedom. Rosalind ingeniously captures this ephemeral feeling imploring viewers to question the true meaning of life.

A sleeping sky bears witness to life as it tends to blossom on the peaceful shores of freedom. The cruel play of fate may try to bring an individual down but as the waves find the shore and the birds soar in the sky with the hope of returning to their homeland, we are nothing, but social animals that fall into the same dogma. Even if we are at the crux of a thousand hurdles, the setting sun always gives us hope that the day might be over only to make way for another bright morning to come.
