In general I am amazed by all of Kunath’s works for their vivid depictions within beautiful abstractions. This particular piece is too powerful to have just one meaning, but for me, a few distinct things come to mind. Without knowledge of what the title meant, I immediately thought of the duality of life and the undistinction most things take on. I am a firm believer that nothing is simple, never just black or white. The lines in the painting are not fine or completely neat. In my understanding this is symbolic of a person’s life. The person is anybody, or everybody. My interpretation changed slightly when I looked up the title to be close to the word ‘peregrination’, which means to wander or travel from place to place. The man in the painting is thus a traveler between these two words, two worlds maybe of differing distinctions, cultures, or colors. I would guess that the work would venture to suggest that no matter how two spheres of existence might differ, in mankind, there are both spheres, since the figure travels through both simultaneously. One sphere is not shown as a domineering force over the other. Rather, they are equal in size and importance.

Thank you, Mr. Kunath, for your grand contributions to the International. They were all inspiring beyond words.
