There was a reserved acceptance; we were resigned to our fate. Nobody liked what was happening but we also just kind of largely accepted there was no solution to be found and no reason to seek it. 

For me this painting is about observation, jealousy, and fear. Two figures sit in the foreground, seemingly contorted and folded upon themselves. They gaze out at an endless horizon where the land seems to disappear into the sea, and the sky is nearly undistinguishable from the water. A fence-like structure seems to float or peer above the water's surface like a mirage while two anonymous figures seem to go about there business, unconcerned with the watching figures and abstracted landscape. All I can think of is how much the seated figures desire to be out in the water, letting clothes blow in the wind, standing comfortably and freely in the open; instead they remain in place, questioning their surroundings, envying the freedom of those before them whose only measurable difference was acting on desires or duty rather than succumbing to melancholy.

A feeling of despair seemed to fall like a gentle mist, and, though we were not yet assured of its arrival, everyone felt a wave of dread pass between their optimism and the coming days.
