Jonah

The story goes that, after Jonah came out of the fish's mouth, he relaxed under the gala flowers. In the artwork, Jonah is holding a gala leaf in his hand, metaphorically suggesting that he is resting under it. The fact that, his cloth is in the shape of a fish means that he came out of the fish's mouth.

The patterns made with gold in the lower part of the work are a technique used in miniature and depict grass. These patterns were used as texture in the work.

The water-applied gold used on the ground of the work is a texture created by using the paper's own properties. Red, yellow and white gold are used in this texture.
