EDITORS COMMENTS
In this painting by John Absolon, titled "We are out in the ocean sailing to our home beyond the deep. . " we are transported to a mesmerizing world of adventure and hope. The image depicts a group of immigrants on a ship's deck, huddled together as they embark on a perilous journey towards an unknown destination. The scene is set against the backdrop of a vast and endless ocean, with billowing sails catching the wind. A lantern casts its warm glow upon the faces of those gathered, illuminating their expressions filled with anticipation and determination. As nightfall descends, they listen attentively to stories told by a fellow traveler - perhaps acting as both entertainer and guide during their passage. The intricate rigging above them creates an intricate canopy overhead, while ropes sway gently in rhythm with the sea's ebb and flow. It is clear that these individuals have left behind everything familiar in search of something better - seeking refuge or opportunity in distant lands. Absolon's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this poignant scene, evoking emotions ranging from excitement to trepidation. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of the courage it takes for people to leave their homes behind and venture into uncharted waters. "We are out in the ocean sailing to our home beyond the deep. . " invites us into an intimate moment aboard this vessel, allowing us to reflect on our own journeys through life - both physical and metaphorical - where we too must navigate uncertainty while holding onto dreams
