And Pilate said,
"What is the truth?"
And Jesus said, "Truth is the God who knows.
It is the
changeless
one. The Holy Breath is truth; she changes not and cannot pass away."
On the foreground the figure
of Christ and immediately behind him Pilate. They are still in
meditation. Further behind them there are three figures. They are:
Hope, Love and Faith. This is the way to find the Truth. Another figure in
the black robe represents falsehood and evil, which is always present in
human life. The left side of the canvas is the world before Christ. In
that world there has always been a quest for truth. Thinking of Egypt we
can mention Hermes Trismegistus, Greece - Pythagoras, India- Buddha.
The right portion of the canvas represents the world after Christ in which
a human quest for truth continues. Chain-like shapes in the painting
are to suggest the Past Present and Future, everything is interconnected. |
