The bus symbolizes a dream, the open road, another world. It represents the possibility of another life. And each person on the bus has their own life, their own story, their own dream. The two fairies sitting atop the bus give wings to those wishes and dreams. The man’s bird-beaked mask references the mask worn by medieval doctors during the Black Death.

I especially love this painting because its figures are open to interpretation. They give the viewer the opportunity to come up with their own story.
