"Amidst the ruins of a naval battle, a damaged ship smokes against the backdrop of fortified battlements. Meanwhile, in a tranquil landscape, a water-mill turns gently, its figures at work, as a fishing boat leaves the river behind. Contrasting scenes of war and peace, past and present. In another context, the title "Designate" brings to mind the Bishop Designate of Durham, as depicted in this engraving of The Right Rev. Brooke Foss Westcott, D. D. , from 1890. A bishop designate is one who has been appointed to the position but has not yet been consecrated or enthroned. Elsewhere, an executioner stands ready to administer punishment, while a hermit designate looks on, perhaps offering spiritual guidance to the court. The imagery of designation and the roles it plays in various aspects of life unfolds before us, inviting reflection on the transitions and transformations that come with new beginnings.
