- The massive gate opening: The glowing, fiery gate contrasts with the cool, grey surroundings. It symbolizes a transition – perhaps into a new phase of life, a new idea or an important decision. The gate invites you to leave your comfort zone and explore the unknown.
- The small person compared to the size of the gate: The silhouette of a person walking towards the gate conveys the feeling of courage in the face of uncertainty. It shows the smallness of man compared to the great changes that can happen in life.
- The Barren Trees: The bare trees on either side of the image symbolize a barren, almost inhospitable environment that is nevertheless part of the path. They represent the unpredictable and sometimes rough path we take in life.
Color design:
- Black, grey and white: these tones dominate the background and create a cold, foggy and uncertain atmosphere that serves as a symbol of the insecurity of the unknown.
- Orange and red: The warm colors radiating from the gate symbolize hope, energy and perhaps even danger. They magically draw the viewer in and offer a strong emotional impact.

The artwork asks the question: do we have the courage to leave the familiar and step into an unknown world where we don't know what awaits us? The bright colors of the gate symbolize both the lure and the challenges that come with change.
