This is a piece that addresses a form of escapism which can be seen in a positive light. Reading, or books, is often described as a portal to an alternate universe and this piece represents this through the colours. The book’s pages are showered in bright and vibrant colours while the figure is depicted in duller tones, depicting that the only colour in their life is from reading. They are blinded by the joy escapism brings to see anything further than the pages in front of them.
