BRACHIAL
The game is on - but what is a battle in which there can only be losers?
Not horizontal - vertical is the battle.
The symbolic work deals with the contemporaneous theme of resources and war. What happens when you are exhausted. It questions our treatment of nature and our treatment of ourselves. It questions whether we are not fighting ourselves when we abuse our neighbors and nature - on which we also depend. It shows what can happen when we no longer know any boundaries and we lose our humanity. Is it not our most important good? It cannot be weighed out with gold or acquired. If we are not careful, the next generation may have to bear this suffering. Will we learn to look beyond the horizon of our lives and selflessly make perhaps not the simplest but the right decisions?
Brachial is a memorial. Started before the war in Europe only with focus on the environment. But it grew during the war and became perfect in the midst of it. A work in which I have captured my thoughts since October 2021.
