In a famous story, Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "The Spider's Thread," a single spider's thread is lowered into hell. I painted this thinking that if there were many more threads like that, everyone could be saved. But even if everyone were saved, it wouldn't necessarily lead to a good future.

Translated from the artist's original Japanese caption (view in Japanese).
