About the artwork

The Moleturm tower of Friedrichshafen rises majestically in the gentle arms of Lake Constance, a witness to times gone by and a guardian of countless stories. On this cloudy April day, the view from the tower sweeps across the endless expanse of the lake, which stretches out in melancholy tranquillity. But the sky above Friedrichshafen is not characterised by the usual spring idyll. Instead, gloomy storm clouds dance an ominous ballet on the horizon, as if whispering mysterious stories that only the wind can understand.
From the top of the Moleturm, a panorama spreads out that casts a spell over the viewer. The grey clouds over Lake Constance form a contrast to the gentle blueness of the water and lend the scenery an aura of mystery and fascination. The contours of the distant mountains are blurred in the mist, while the light of day slowly breaks through the dense clouds and bathes the landscape in a diffuse, shimmering light.
But despite the impending storm front, the Moleturm radiates an aura of steadfastness and serenity. Its stone walls have already experienced and survived many things, and they stand firmly anchored in the ground, ready to continue defying the passage of time. From up here, you can see not only the beauty of nature, but also the transience of the moment and the infinite power that lies hidden in the stillness of the landscape.
In this moment, captured in a single panoramic photo, past and present merge into a timeless melody that only the heart can understand. The Moleturm tower in Friedrichshafen stands as a silent witness on the shores of Lake Constance, and the sight of it allows the soul to float away on the wings of poetry.
