We live in a dangerous age. Man masters nature before he has learned to master himself.
Albert Schweitzer
The artwork „Element Earth / rainforest“ is a part of the working scholarship project NEUSTART KULTUR, supported by cultural foundation of the state of Germany with the title: „Mythos Atlantis - the message for today“ .
The controversial story of Atlantis, which perished around 9600 BC as a result of a natural event within „a single day and an
ill-fated night“, was described by the Greek philosopher Plato in his Myths of Plato. The fragility of a highly developed culture
that can be completely destroyed by a natural event is currently an important and touching topic in relation to climate change
and a sign for generations to be more mindful of the environment.
The goal of my work grant was to promote a more mindful approach to the environment and Mother Nature.
The work "Ouroboros" represents the repeated process of transformation of matter and is a part of the project.
