\nWATERCOLOUR ON PAPER
\n74 x 65 cm<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

A piece of summer, radiance, warmth, softness, intimacy, closeness, love glow – a power and intensity that is unparalleled. The motif jumped out of the page, literally moved to my body and beamed into my heart: “Take me!” I couldn’t help but choose it as my favorite. And when I read the text to it, my heart was overwhelmed in another way. (…)
\n“And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying: Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: You shall be holy, for I am holy the Lord, your God.” (3. Mose 19:2)
\nAt first one could get the idea that the two cuboids stand for the two tablets of law on which God lets present the 10 commandments to his people. The God who appeared to the Israelites out of the fire transmits two fiery burning clay tablets through his friend Moses. Glowing, they reflect his blazing passion and his irrepressible striving for justice.
\nMy heart interprets differently, sees the summer, smells the embers of love, feels attracted: In my eyes, the two squares are emblematic of man and God. No above and below. Equal coexistence. No angular shapes that could bump into each other or hurt each other. Soft, erect forms, leaning against each other. Clearly recognizable as two – and yet soon becoming one. The whole seems stable and immovable, the two forms support and hold each other intimately. It flows between the two. And the flow takes no end, it continues. Breathing together. Acting together. Living together.<\/p>\n
