"Now you've gone too far," I thought to myself several times while working on this artwork. At the beginning I had the vision to put the city gates of Neubrandenburg (city in North Eastern Germany) in a loose relation with each other, to connect them with flowers and portraits. The beauty of the medieval architecture challenged my creativity. It is not easy to use something that is already so harmonious in itself and has such an aesthetic power as a component in a collage. It requires a strong structure to avoid the individual elements "shouting" at each other. There, the sea has a very calming effect. For me it is also a symbol for the unconscious and thus another level of reality. What is actually interesting: I don't have to pretend that the airship is technically able to fly. That would also destroy the poetic power of the picture.
