This digital artwork depicts an enchanting nocturnal landscape where silence and symbolism come together. Inspired by a lone column in Amelisweerd, the image forms a visual meditation on the phrase "All roads lead to Rome". Under a deep, starry sky, a bright yellow sandy path winds its way from the bottom left of the sculpture to the distant horizon. The path, mysteriously lit by an invisible moon, cuts through a vast, even dark-green lawn that extends on both sides, giving the scene a serene, almost timeless atmosphere.
Along the path are 12 columns, each with its own rhythm and orientation, as if guiding the journey. Their long, dark shadows fall sharply defined on the dirt path and grass, like traces of an invisible presence. One pillar is physically missing - only her shadow is visible - lending the work a subtle tension and enigma. Has she disappeared? Or never been present?
The starry sky above the scene reinforces the sense of directionlessness as well as destination. The work raises questions about journey and origin, about visibility and absence. Despite the absence of human figures, the artwork exudes a silent human presence, captured in columns, shadows and the path that - inevitably - leads somewhere. It is a digital dream in colour and contrast, in which light and dark, presence and emptiness, combine to form a poetic whole.
