This is Love. You are in the ocean of hope (blue background). In the middle of it there is an island, island of Desire.It is possible that the island is not the best island, nor the best looking island. But it is your island. You are attached to it as if you were on a leash. This attachment (the red line) defines the edge for you.The edge that "cut" you open and gets your soul out.And when you really get your soul out, you are getting into a bliss (the red line). Then you are hooked like a fish was pulled out and lying on the sand.

Orange. It's a tropical fruit. It makes you think about a small island in the ocean. It is a small parcel of land(pinkish pass in the upper right) in the middle of the infinite ocean. It is ideal, pink and seductive. There, the sea and the sky are of the same color.The sand is white with golden hue. Then you return to the reality(the grey stain in the upper center). You realize that it's not an ideal, it is idealized. And the only real thing is the orange in your hand.
