This image shows a breathtaking landscape that tantalises the senses with its serene and rugged beauty. It is an Icelandic mountain in autumn, stripped of traditional symbols of the season - no snow glistening, no trees dropping their leaves. It is a silent witness to minimalist splendour and simplicity.
The bare rocky slopes of the mountain are reflected in a deep, mysterious lake at its foot. The sky is filled with a sense of emptiness and space, capturing only the suggestion of movement and change in the clouds above the mountain. This composition testifies to the inexorable power of nature, where the elements have carved and shaped the mountains, and where time seems to be both the creator and lord of this wild place.
This sculpture invites meditation on the essence of nature and the sheer power of the elements. It is a tribute to Iceland's rugged, untouched wilderness and the beauty to be found in nature's most minimal and unexpected manifestations. It challenges us to see the meaning of autumn in a broader perspective, as a season of transformation and change, even when traditional autumnal features are absent.
