Journeying, connection, and letting go...
The cypress tree in 'Starry Night' stands for the journey from earth to the sky, from life to death. Here, it's represented by a spiral "staircase" that the painter desires to take, leaving the clustered depressing city to a much more lively destination among the radial stars. The concept model reflects his emotional state in his last years when he had more hope in death as life's meaning slowly fades away, just like the city behind does.
