Coming and Going
Description
"Coming and Going" by Rita Adams offers a new perspective on Jacob's Ladder. From a bird's-eye view, two ladders meet, forming a celestial and earthly crossroads. The orange ladder rises to the heavens, symbolizing spiritual growth and connection with the divine, while the blue ladder descends, representing our journey on earth and human culture. This art piece honors the biblical story while also referencing the Ladder of the Intellect, a symbol of critical thinking and scientific discovery. The layered wax and pigments create a textured, dreamy surface that invites viewers to reflect on the intersections of faith, reason, and human progress.Try it!
