Walking the Continuous Path presents an abstracted depiction of horses, their forms rendered in deep, textured browns that dominate the canvas. The elongated legs and simplified shapes evoke movement, suggesting a steady march or journey. Against the earthy tones, blocks of mustard yellow peek through, creating a vivid contrast and lending the composition a sense of energy and light amidst the rugged textures. The horses appear both grounded and ephemeral, embodying the endurance and grace associated with these creatures.

Walking the Continuous Path presents an abstracted depiction of horses, their forms rendered in deep, textured browns that dominate the canvas. The elongated legs and simplified shapes evoke movement, suggesting a steady march or journey. Against the earthy tones, blocks of mustard yellow peek through, creating a vivid contrast and lending the composition a sense of energy and light amidst the rugged textures. The horses appear both grounded and ephemeral, embodying the endurance and grace associated with these creatures.
The painting’s abstract style transforms the horses into symbols of resilience and timelessness. The rough, layered textures, combined with the earthy palette, evoke themes of endurance and the cyclical nature of life. The bright yellow areas beneath the horses serve as a visual counterpoint, symbolizing moments of illumination or guidance along the path. This interplay of light and shadow reflects the complexities of persistence and progress.
This work ties into Jaru’s broader exploration of identity and motion, yet it stands out for its symbolic depiction of the horses as metaphors for strength and continuity. The combination of abstract forms and representational elements invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys, making the painting a profound meditation on the enduring nature of life's challenges and triumphs.
