Between What Was and What Is Coming depicts the quiet moment of a journey - a glance through the train window, behind which a landscape of mountains is bathed in the light of a setting sun. The colours of the sky flow into orange, copper and violet, while the seats in the compartment reflect back the warm light. It is an image of movement, but also of stillness.
The traveller is absent, and precisely because of this, the viewer himself becomes the traveller. Through this window, we not only look outside, but also inside - at memory, expectation and change. The landscape slipping by becomes a metaphor for time itself: always in motion, never quite fixed.
Within the album Everyone's Perspective, this work represents the theme of transition. Where earlier windows show moments of calm, light or reflection, Between What Was and What Is Coming captures the sense of being on the move - the realisation that perspective is constantly shifting, just like the horizon.
The painting invites you to be still for a moment, to look without destination. For in the movement lies a rare form of calm: the insight that we are all travellers, looking through our own window, on our way to something as yet unknown.
