This artwork is a series of wood carving reliefs. They depict the polar opposites that I face in my daily work. Rich and poor, peak (of the mountain, career, life) and death. More works are planned.
The connecting element between two pictures (money, cross) is gilded. The main topic is also represented in the patterns of the frames.
At first glance the pictures make a homey atmosphere. They remind of typical traditional Austrian furniture / interior. At a closer look they reveal the modern topics and societal extremes contained within all that coziness.
