The coloured border of the pictures represents the interior of a twentieth-century craft or metal structure, such as an oil rig, spaceship, submarine or aircraft. Equally though, they stand for the psychic interior of one's mind or body, from within which one looks out onto the world, while the central openings can be understood literally as metal framed windows, or metaphorically as the portal of one's eyes. Through these openings the view is of an aerial landscape that is at the same time a purely psychic space or a projection of the mind within.
