About the artwork

The digital artwork depicts an intriguing and minimalist night scene, completely enveloped in black. The night sky is deep and unfathomable, without stars or clouds; an absolute void that draws the eye to subtle details. In the foreground, an abstract suggestion of a building and a water surface appears, not through lines or contours, but through flecks of light that dance like sparse reflections on the darkness. These flecks of light seem randomly scattered, but on closer inspection form a thoughtful composition: sharp, geometric flashes suggest the contours of a modern, functional building, while softer, wavy lights below evoke the effect of rippling water. The reflections seem to hover between reality and imagination, balancing the artwork on the border between the recognisable and the abstract. Above this play of light and black float, in bright white letters, the words "Rijkswaterstaat". The text stands centrally and proudly, like a beacon above the invisible construction. The simplicity of the typography contrasts with the layering of the underlying image, emphasising the authority and presence of this name. The composition as a whole evokes a sense of control, but also of mystery: human intervention in a dark, almost invisible world. The artwork plays with the idea of visibility and invisibility, of order and chaos, inviting the viewer to find meaning in what is only suggested by light against an all-encompassing darkness.
