The painting shows a hot summer day in my grandfather's garden. It embodies the longing for a lost place - both in the present and in the past. Because the swimming pool, which can be seen in the background, has never existed. It was always a childhood dream of ours that my grandfather would build a pool in the big garden - both the pool and the garden are now history, but the longing, the feeling lives on. It describes the inability to separate from certain dreams, banal as they may be, and to let go. The painting is meant to embody the heated and unspoiled feeling of a never-ending summer - a feeling for the future.
