A radiant assembly of abstracted figures ascends toward light, evoking the mystery and movement of wilderness journeys. "Wilderness 7" invites the viewer to reflect on direction, transition, and unseen company.
In Wilderness 7, part of the Freedom Series from The Israel Collection, Anne Reid Artist invites viewers into the heart of a spiritual migration. Set in a layered, abstract landscape, faceless figures move in loose formation across a field of violet, gold, and crimson. Their posture suggests movement with purpose, as if drawn toward a glowing presence in the distance—an unseen promise calling them forward.
The artwork is rooted in the biblical Exodus, specifically reflecting the transitional spaces the tribes of Israel occupied between captivity and covenant. This print visualizes the in-between—a liminal passage where the past no longer holds, and the future is not yet visible. Reid’s colorist style saturates the scene in spiritual tones: the warmth of divine guidance meets the coolness of uncertainty. The figures, elongated and spectral, seem both grounded and lifted, suggesting a community in transformation.
This piece resonates with viewers navigating change, whether personal, collective, or prophetic. The emotional weight of forward movement, especially when clarity is scarce, is captured through gestural abstraction. The anonymous figures become stand-ins for us all—pilgrims on a journey of trust.
Wilderness 7 pairs well with other works in the series like Wilderness 9I and The Breaker 8, which share its luminous palette and spiritual tension. For deeper reflection, read the blog post "Beauty for Ashes" which explores Isaiah 61 and its influence on Anne’s work.
Design Tips: This fine art print fits beautifully in transitional or meditation spaces—hallways, stairwells, and entryways—where its ascending energy can speak to both movement and stillness. Pair with walls in Benjamin Moore's Shadow 2117-30, Dreamy Cloud 2117-70, or Golden Bounty 2152-20 to amplify its atmospheric depth.
