boat
I have yet to see this level of innovation and beauty packed into such modest packaging. This is amazing and impeccable and yet doesn't come across as pretentious in the slightest.
While boats usually travel across large expanses of water, e.g. the ocean, these are trapped on a circular track, representative of the fact that sometimes the greatest journeys are to be had at the smallest, most local locations. This odyssey, while unremarkable at first impression, is the most important trek one will undertake, the journey of life and all the stages it entails.
The first boat represents infancy, the first stage of life as the car traverses around the track, completely unaware of its surroundings. The second boat is youth, having traveled around much of the track, it is aware of its surroundings but still lacks that extra bit of information to truly understand the world. The boat of adolescence is closer but still hasn't arrived at the station of adulthood like the fourth boat.
The fifth boat, the boat of the elderly, has a full understanding of the world and knowing this, wishes to leave the station on one more adventure, an adventure into morality, fully accepting of its fate.
Just as Odysseus started and ended his journey at home, so have these boats, enduring the harsh trials that plague many throughout life. The red represents violence, and the fate of those that wait at the station too long when trouble arrives, similar to both the suitors at Odysseus' home, and to those that hide from risk until the last moment.
The brown coloration, similar to earth and stone, represents strength. To truly survive the game of life, one requires perseverance and determination, and undertaking a journey is never easy. Odysseus knew this after encountering cyclopes, gods, and other monstrous entities. This is similar to how one might encounter hardships in their life, like poverty, death of a loved one, or people that listen to music too loud on the bus.
The green empty surroundings are vast like the sea itself and present a creative easel that leaves the viewer to ponder with their imagination, similarly to how the sea, especially at night, leaves sailors with nothing but fear and, well, their imagination.
And back to the boats, just as the ride, and as such, life, ends as it enters the station. So it begins again and new life is born. Ashes from ashes. Dust from dust.
Brilliant creation!
What a waste of time and energy.
Praising beauty is not a waste of time and energy. Philistines, of course, will never know this.
