About The Artwork
We see a boy in communion costume, the Bible in his hand, blindfolded. Yet he seems to look at the spectator. At the same time he seems to be in an open landscape, and in a studio, enclosed by a curtain. A hound besides him creates a link with the landscape behind them. They are in an in-between. The title suggests a reference to a promising future, but blindfolded, he does not know what awaits him. The landscape, on the other hand, reflects a dramatic future. There is a parallel between their in-between (between studio and dramatic landscape) and our in-between (between birth and death).
