i like it becouse it has a lot of messages to me,...and the symbols are clear and expressive,so its a very communicational painting!

To me it means that in the shadow of the September 11th that the people of america are frozen in a state of fear/panic/fervor (like the victims of Vesuvius's eruption in Pompeii) and Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son on the wall there is symbolic of the American Government. Who like just like Saturn, fears it's children will overthrow him, and so it feeds off this constant state of fear to ensure it's control of all aspects of the daily lives of it's citizens.
Anyhow, brilliant painting man!

O_O... awesome, you nailed it... i was worried that people wouldnt understand because i did not illustrate it properly, but your interpretation makes me happy

You illustrated it perfectly, it seemed very clear to me!
The things that really stuck out to me about this one:
The multiple figures are extremely well done and very expressive.
Saturn is easily identifiable and stunning, even on such a small scale!
The contrast between the sky in and outside the doorway gives a dynamic sense of depth.

Looks like a Jotunn on the wall there. I'm not sure if the walls are broken or not, their isn't nearly enough debris for them to be too broken unless someone did some cleaning. The twin towers are obvious. The people look a lot like some of the Pele mummies. People dead and lock in place instantaneously. That or they are just tired or very broken in spirit. You have a doorway to somewhere else, I think it's supposed to be a good place, but personal experience causes me to not trust cities to be good places, and it looks like a city on the other side.
