The sky, in its transition from the soft bluish nuances to the warm shades of the sunset, can be interpreted as a symbol of the changes and cycles of life. This use of color contributes to the creation of an environment that is at the same time tranquilizer and disturbing.
The structure of the bridge, which extends to a diffuse landscape, acts as a metaphor for the passage of time and transitions of life. The inclination of the figures towards the broadest and fastest space that is beyond the bridge suggests the concern of what is yet to come. The figures seem to be contemplating their future, which adds a layer of introspection to their presence on the canvas.
