The Voyeur

The Story
I have always been fascinated with Renee Magritte’s paintings of bowler hat men. What were they looking at?
Well, I answered the question in this box. I have the man as a young voyeur looking out of a window- at a flooded street scene - a young lady has sought refuge on a window ledge. Apparently there has been a conversation—and a question has been asked and one of them is waiting for the answer -- WELL?
The upper half of the box depicts the Voyeur later in life, thinking of his own mortality—and looking at the possibility of an afterlife. An image of God appears and tells the Voyeur—“CHOOSE—believe in me and I will give you an afterlife otherwise you will disappear into the blackness”.
