Description

This watercolour shows a group of sculptures standing in a barren desert landscape. The figures, emphasised by white and structured lines, appear ghostly and monumental, as if they are witnesses of times past. The dark sky reinforces the mystical atmosphere, while the yellowish-brown sand tones emphasise the desolation of the surroundings.

The contrast between the detailed sculptures and the simple landscape invites the viewer to reflect on transience, isolation and the permanence of culture and art in eternity.
