Description

A 30-minute painting, inspired by tonight's episode of Lost... I'm not entirely happy with it, but then again it's mostly a conceptual piece... :shrug:

POSSIBLY MAJOR SPOILERS AHOY!

Ab Aeterno is probably one of my favourite episodes of Lost to date-- aside from the awesomeness of finally getting a Richard-centric episode, we learned so much about the island and the history of Jacob and his enemy...

So, the island is the cork, keeping evil-- in the form of Man in Black-- bottled up and out of the world? It's interesting, because I'm starting to think that the island may be evil itself. Evidence? In the alternate timeline, the one where the island does not exist, most of the characters are fairly good people or have "better" lives. Ben isn't a lying mass-murderer, Sawyer isn't a con man, Hurley doesn't have bad luck, Locke's still paralyzed but at least he's together with Helen. In the main timeline, the characters who have come in contact with the island tend to be worse off or have more deceit and deviousness in their pasts...

But anyway... those are just my thoughts on the matter.

And if you use that "The island is a cork" metaphor I will go nuts Jacob!
