In Genesis, a rainbow appears right after the great worldwide flood brought in order to remove sinful and evil-minded man from the earth. It symbolized God's mercy and the covenant He made with Noah (representing mankind) not to destroy the world in such a way again.
What we see in this painting is a broken fire rainbow. Some may think that maybe God gives up on us (mankind), but it is actually just the pollution that we made. The Moai statues are man-made and thus signify with the pollution created by us.
在創世紀,一道彩虹出現在全球的大洪水之後,大洪水為以將地球除去惡毒的人帶來的罪惡。彩虹象徵著神的憐憫和他與挪亞立的約(代表人類),也代表著神約定不會以這樣的方式再次毀滅世界。
我們在這幅畫看到的是一道破碎的火彩虹。有些人可能會認為也許神已經放棄了我們(人類),但實際上它只是我們所做的污染物。該摩艾雕像是人造的,也代表著目前所產生的污染物都是我們人為的。
