*Footsteps on the Ladder of Time* by Willem Boronski is a textured abstract composition that explores themes of ascent, memory, and transformation. A fragmented ladder structure, painted in earthy ochres and deep reds, emerges from the layered white surface, symbolizing a precarious journey through time. The interplay of swirling black lines, geometric shapes, and ghostly human-like forms suggests an ephemeral presence—traces of past movements lingering within an evolving, unstable reality.
