About the artwork

A haunting scene full of symbolism and quiet drama unfolds in a surreal, almost apocalyptic landscape. The heated, parched earth is criss-crossed by deep cracks, a barren desert of ochre and rust tones, marked by the merciless glow of an invisible sun. A group of strange creatures adapted to these adverse conditions move across this lifeless, brittle crust. Their bodies look like fragile constructions from a distant world, a mixture of organic substance and abstract form.

With long, spindly stilt legs, they carefully feel their way forward, as if each step brings them closer to final exhaustion. Their movements are slow, pervaded by an elusive melancholy, while the horizon blurs into a shimmering haze. These creatures, these mutated wild animals, formerly partly predators, embody not only adapted survival in a hostile environment, but also the unbroken hope that there is a "tomorrow" somewhere.

The sky hangs heavy, a dense blanket of dust and heat that threatens to swallow everything. But in the midst of this desolate wasteland, a quiet, barely comprehensible message shines out: let us live. It is a silent outcry against oblivion, against resignation. A symbol of the irrepressible will to live, which still finds its place even in the greatest hopelessness. The picture invites the viewer to reflect on the fragility of life - and on the strength that lies in moving on despite this.
