What does meanig for persistence?
The meaning of this painting is that our minds can sometimes be so timeless to us that we try to create the blurry figures of our memory with our imagination. So this whold potrait is like a dream or a nightmare for anybody who has a blurry memory. The ants, tree, clocks and the amorphous figure, and the steps are very easy to find out if you think about it. The ants on the red clock symbolizes anxiety or nervousness. The tree symbolizes death. The bent clocks mean that our memories are so vague to us. For example we cant read a clock if it is broken or wrong. That's how it relates to it. The amorphous figure is the face of Salvador Dali. Also it can be the symbolization of birth because the sack thing looks like fetus. And the steps can be very confusing. but it means the sexual act because when you go up and down on the steps..... just think about it...... and the blue step on the background means
Smooth walls over which the dreamer climbs,
the facades of houses, down which he lowers himself often in great anxiety---
correspond to erect human bodies, and are probably repeating in the dream
recollections of a baby's climbing up his parents or nurse. The 'smooth' walls aremen; in his fear the dreamer often clutches hold of 'projections' in the facades of
houses. So everything is very clear if you just think of it.
