For some reason in the thumbnail it looked like Mitch McConnell but when I zoomed in it looks like Jeb Bush to me… It’s a really cool good looking piece, but my possibly sleep adled read of the face may have colored my view of the piece as a whole.
I realize this is supposed to depict a hellish situation, but this is literally a primate among the branches.
I understand this is the intent as well, but something about this looks really fun to climb
Until you’re old, and you realize it extends infinitely in every direction, and there’s nowhere to rest.

Yeah, it doesn’t seem so bad, but if he falls it’s human pachinko
It’s definitely interesting but not sure I see the connection to time. Does anyone else?
I think the old man is the important piece of the picture. Our entire lives are spent climbing away from inescapable death. No matter what we do, a missed hand hold will eventually result in the fall into blackness. The old mans body is bound to fail him, and he will fall.
The thing I like most is the light that the subject of the painting is climbing towards. Sometimes, when I am in a situation where a negative outcome is unchangeable, I don’t want to deal with it at all. why play the game of life when we all lose, sort of thing. I think the light is what makes it worth traversing the perils of the pit. I think the light is the things that make life worth living.
But I’m just some dude, and that’s what I see. I think someone smarter will be able to tell me I’m wrong.
I really like that interpritation of the use of light. Hope, even in perilous circumstances.

I think your interpretation is fine and is yours to keep - what you see is as valid as what someone “smarter” might think.
This is stupid, the spikes are already against the wall so they cant compress any further. The only risk is falling, the rest of the image adds nothing.
