Repentance (μετάνοια) empty dust and shocking Pink toMetanoia or Repentance is an artistic attempt to visualize and capture the Greek Orthodox Christian understanding of repentance as a spiritual battleground, where one's soul contends with the forces of darkness in unseen warfare for salvation. The crimson red background is symbolic of Christ's sacrifice and the intensity of the spiritual struggle.
