“What Goes Up" presents a striking and enigmatic scene: a girl in a white dress appears to float gracefully against a stark black background, evoking a sense of weightlessness or ascent. However, the white doves falling around her introduce a poignant contrast—symbols of peace and freedom descending, suggesting fragility, loss, and the impermanence of elevation. Together, the painting explores themes of aspiration and gravity, innocence and vulnerability, and the cyclical nature of rise and fall, inviting viewers to ponder the tension between uplift and descent. This piece is a captivating addition to any collection, offering both striking visual impact and rich interpretive depth.
