About the artwork

As the sun slowly sinks over the horizon in the Everglades National Park, the scenery transforms into a breathtaking natural spectacle. The sky above the Everglades glows in intense colours - from deep orange and fiery red to soft purple. The silhouettes of the swamp cypresses and mangroves stand out darkly against the light, while the mirror-smooth water reflects the colours of the sky. In the distance, the soft call of a heron can be heard, while an alligator glides almost silently through the water.

The Everglades National Park in Florida is a unique wilderness of endless swamps, dense mangrove forests and vast grasslands. This vast wetland, considered one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in North America, covers more than 6,000 square kilometres and is home to alligators, manatees and a variety of rare bird species. The landscape seems almost timeless, with calm waters that reflect the sky and winding waterways that lead deep into the heart of the wilderness.

With the last rays of the sun, a peaceful silence settles over the national park. The first stars flash and the night sounds of the Everglades awaken: the chirping of crickets, the distant howl of a coyote and the mysterious lapping of the water. At this moment, the wilderness seems untouched and endless - a place where nature still has the upper hand. A sunset in the Everglades is not only a visual spectacle, but also a reminder of how powerful yet fragile this special ecosystem is.
