This linocut is part of the graphic cycle Ad Altiora Tendo, which visualises the human desire to overcome one's own limits and reject the ordinary. The Latin motto symbolises the direction towards higher life or spiritual goals and becomes a metaphor for conscious motivation and effort, expressed in the prints through the interweaving of symbols and dynamic details. Each scene opens up space for reflection on time, order and inner motives, as well as the ability not to lose oneself on this journey.
