The Three Magi

A woman at the center wears a crown that extends into large arrows, representing her dreams radiating outward. To the left, the Chrysler Building symbolizes a fantasy of a life in New York. Near it stands a giraffe, and beneath are gladiolus flowers — symbols of transformation. Lilies of the valley bloom nearby, alongside forget-me-not flowers.

This artwork layers personal aspirations and memories into symbolic imagery. An easel signifies a passion for painting and creativity, while an open blank book on the floor invites an unwritten future. A bathtub features a whale’s tail emerging from the water, alluding to the artist’s wonder at wild whales and a love for baths. In the lower right, a fireplace holds two glasses of sparkling champagne, evoking hopes for love and companionship. High above, three Easter Island-style stone figures—the Three Magi—represent spiritual journeys and distant travels to places like Easter Island. The Bethesda Fountain from Central Park appears in the background, along with the Guggenheim Museum.
