Magritte’s Graffitti

If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream. ”
– Rene Magritte

This photo is of the canal in Federal Park, Glebe and shows a sunken umbrella in the foreground and above the old grafitti reflected from the now being redeveloped Harold Park. It instantly reminded me of Magritte’s umbrella series and his often unrevealed faces which purportedly were a reference to his mother’s death by drowning.
