This picture contains information that is contrary to everyday experience, such as the immense horse with no reins ridden by four people. These qualities suggest that there is a higher force directing the family to their destination, with a faith like that of the pioneers. Kershisnik has utilized a simplified style reminiscent of eastern European art. His ancestors lived in Slovenia.
