Abbey in the Oak Forest

It seems like the last day on earth, where there is nothing but a destroyed landscape, bare trees, leafless branches and a few people remaining on the painting. I cannot even tell whether it is daytime or not. The view of the sand on the ground reflects the destruction of the buildings and makes us think about all the death and chaos. We can only see a few trees in the graveyard. All of the emotions we feel about the painting are despair, powerless, fear and sorrow. It shows that human beings are helpless. The only thing human can do is prey there. And it makes us feel increasingly desperate. Because it seems that there is no God who helps humans on the painting. The reflection of abbey on the window mirrors the outside landscape. Yet it seems that people are heading to the abbey without even knowing the true.

However, we assume that it may be a miracle that humans are alive there. People are gathered in the abbey, and even if they don’t know each other, they might help, share love and rely on each other later. And they will make a miracle as if they are alive in the waste land.

Overall, even though the shadow of death hung upon on the painting, we can assume that the humans on the bottom will overcome difficulties and create a better world.
