I will talk about the dennotations and connotations of the work Stairway to Heaven by Igor Scekic. First the dennotations from Stairway to heaven. Their is a coffin with no body in it. Out of the coffin is an illuminated cloud of smoke that turns into a stairway. The stairway leads to what is thought to be heaven. It is a group of white puffy clouds, with big arches and a man holding his arms wide open. The man is a dark shadowy figure with a bright white light behind him. The background is dark, but there is a light under the coffin that may be a candle.
The connotations of this work are as follows. This piece of art is the representation of one mans journey after death. He has just made it past the stairs and the gates of heaven have been opened for him to walk in. The stairway to heaven is a christian belief of the final journey before entering heaven.
