This is the most abstract work in its collection, by far, a collection of rough, grainy islands of light amidst a sea of darkness. No part of this work is literal in any sense, hence the 'metaphorical' part of its title; however, metaphors too are a thing constructed, and there is evidence of human construction in this image, from the cracks in the sides to the contours of the islands themselves, and the color being pushed into them.
