First, let me say what I see.

I see a romantic place, where lovers travel from all over the World, to be engulfed in love, pleasure, romance, and inspiration for their future.

The gondolier represents the work for this to happen. It is not ignored that he plays his part perfectly.

But the intrigue to this piece comes from the scene itself.

Ordinary lives hanging on the walls (laundry) are dispatched by the the lives of those in the boat seeking romance perhaps.

In other words, the tourists are blind to the fact that life consumes everything, even them.

But the memories are left unconsumed (I added that as a result from the "feel" of your art).

You did it.

You made the observer interact with your work, and take it past what you may have originally intended.

THAT is the mark of a true Artist.

You are a true Artist.
