In the bottom right hand corner there is a figure standing and looking out to the scene in front, with their shadow casting forward - as if a symbol for foreshadowing the path they are currently on. As they look on, they witness destruction before finally bringing about peace. They observe their tent resting on poor foundations with a tidal wave imminent. Symbolic of poor choices made forcing us to cleanse, start fresh and rebuild. Another figure is on the bottom left, collapsed to their knees as they witness fires, yet they themselves are being covered in rain. Symbolising how we often have the solution to our problems, but rather than helping ourselves, we metaphorically tie our hands behinds our backs and just watch it unfold instead. 
Yet if we look beyond and above this destruction, we can see the return to beauty with mountains, sunshine, running streams and waterfalls, a peaceful scene. 
Ultimately, this piece is designed to highlight that sometimes we need to break down what we think we know or what we have built around us in order to find the true peace within.
But what story is it telling you?
