Because: The Beatles
Inspired by The Beatles' song Because, this artwork visually interprets the profound connection between nature, the mind, and the universe. Central to the composition is a golden tree, symbolizing growth, set within the metaphorical landscape of a person's inner space. The projection of the room around it is not a physical place, but rather a representation of the subconscious—where thoughts, emotions, and the complexities of existence converge.
The soft blues and swirling textures reflect the dreamy, hypnotic quality of the song’s harmonies, inviting the viewer to drift into contemplation. The tree, with its radiant branches reaching upward, symbolizes personal growth and awakening, echoing the lyrics: "Because the world is round, it turns me on." The roundness of the room and the cosmic elements hint at the cyclical nature of life and the universe, mirroring the song’s theme of interconnectedness.
At the heart of the piece is the figure, looking up towards the light, representing the pursuit of understanding and peace. This introspective moment, coupled with the expansive cosmos above, conveys the feeling of awe and wonder found in Because—a sense of unity with the world that’s both intimate and infinite.
