I symbolized five wounds with the abstract element of red drips of paint; resurrection with gold drips upward; and the event of Pentecost with a few white brushstrokes evoking a dove and the color red flaming down from above.
Often old story-telling altarpieces lost panels and were restored with different found sections, thus the panels of this painting are designed to look randomly placed. The triptych format of three panels is a symbol for the Trinity, which came to be on Pentecost.
