Description
I believe that in every image, there exists an alternative reality. Leonardo da Vinci, in his advice to artists suggest that the artist may look at any image, even a stain on the wall, and therein he may see whatever he wishes to see. This has been my modus operandi since reading this advice from such a most eminent source. However, what I have always discovered is that I actually project my own idiosyncrasies into the subject image and I discover images that either relate to my personal history or that of the author of the subject image. In this version of the Mona Lisa, I perceive, through an opened door, the ubiquitous boats that were in the harbor of my hometown, Portsmouth, in my native Commonwealth of Dominica. On the back wall is a deteriorated fresco like Leonardo's Last Supper. On the table, one sees an empty bowl, draped with fine blue fabric. The ever present hands of bananas that pay homage to my father, whose hands worked in the Banana Industry for seventeen of my formative years, hence "The hands that fed me". They may also represent the hands that Leonardo frequently included in his masterpieces. The loaves of bread are my own predilection for bread as a child in Portsmouth; where I visit whenever I am in Dominica, in order to rekindle my childhood days.
