The concept of "looking back" in the scripture, myths and folklore is associated with a spiritual or moral regression, a return to former ways that are contrary to necessary progression as directed by divine forces. A dog guided on a leash is dazzled by the eerie whiteness of a salt lake. In alchemy, salt is the stabilizing, tangible anchor that gives substance, form, and boundaries to all things, allowing spirit and soul to exist in the physical world. In tarot, a dog walks alongside the Fool, acting as an instinctual guide and protector from unseen dangers. It represents our primitive impulses, intuition, and inner voice. A leash on a dog symbolizes the delicate balance between connection and control, representing the tension between freedom and responsibility. The painting was inspired by a cross-country move following a resolute decision to start over in a new place and leaving past ties and memories behind without regrets and remorse as a firm belief in the foresight that guides you forward.
