The triptych again represents his current state of mind. The subject is in a very dark room with two birds representing the two family members he lost, his aunt and his brother. The darkness embodies the sadness and anxiety that he feels but at the same time there is some light that appears at a certain distance, symbolizing that there is hope for the future. The person’s body is faced towards the light showing that he is going towards a more positive mood. The face however remains in the darkness, emphasizing this idea that the person is torn between the dark reality and a possible brighter future.
