This is a reimagining of a familiar archetype, and one that uses contours and shading to suggest its form rather than a simple white-color dichotomy. The left side of the work presents a bright source of light, from which the right side is shielded; but not by the mountain that is the work's subject, but rather by some force in the sky, keeping that light away from the mountain's peak. Taken as a metaphor, this work thus gains new meaning.
