The mother attends to the needs of her daughter, while the husband attends to matters of far off importance—his face engulfed by a great celestial light, illuminating worlds so distant from his own. The mother obediently accepts the household work, her back turned on the galaxies and star clouds that exist so far from her own perception, so foreign to the cloth and woodwork of her simple home. A single door resides at the bottom of the frame, so distant from the star-scapes and the bleak domestic setting, this escape never dismissed from the mind of the woman who ever holds it in her outer vision.
