The unusual but dynamic and involving composition of this piece reflects its theme of adventure. The viewer's eye is drawn gradually across each of three facets of this theme in turn: the epic and richly imagined adventures that are the domain of fiction and culture, the everyday but nonetheless vital domestic adventure of life and survival, and the ultimate adventure of exploration of the unknown, drawing us towards a horizon of beauty and mystery. The key to this piece is its seamlessness, how these themes are presented clearly but almost subliminally in what appears at first glance to be a straightforward still-life diorama.
