In the first image a wide-breathing, almost limitless blue…a place without a fixed horizon…no dramatic center…no loud event…no definite movement. A pull that does not compel but at first glance brings everything near to it…as if everything were being drawn inward. Elements fall into a kind of orbit…feel their way, tip over…reorganize…change directions…and while the pull in the middle remains diffuse, without a clear edge or shape, the large red triangle is the opposite…sharp, decisive, almost defiantly present…as if saying, ‘I am here.’ The triangle, the decision…as an unconscious act…a will…an attitude and perhaps even a protection against losing oneself. The pull…the possibility…the unconscious, an inner center that works without being visible…a thought, a feeling, or a decision that has not yet been spoken…it feels like the heart of the image…not beating loudly, but pulsing silently. Perhaps that is exactly the point where the image touches…not where something is clearly recognizable, but where one is drawn in.
The second image is like a sigh. While the first rather pulled inward, here the space opens up. The blue is brighter, airier, almost permeable. It feels less like an inner world…more like expanse, like a moment when something clears up. The large golden triangle is no longer a silent object; it is like an arrow, a ray, a path…an impulse that clearly stretches in one direction…it is not just simply there…it moves. Where in the first picture there was still circling, here there is a path… where there was previously searching, there is now alignment. The dynamics are no longer diffuse, but purposeful. Everything seems to be working in a common direction. And yet it remains light… nothing feels heavy or forced. Where I would have fought the pull before, it is transformed here. In this way, both images do not depict a static state, but a transition… a moment that cannot be held… but is felt very clearly. Maybe that’s exactly it…no escape, no dissolution, but going on under changed conditions. In the first image, the contradiction still remains a struggle between pull and form…a simultaneous being drawn in and asserting oneself, while in the second image it becomes the supporting force that allows clear direction to emerge from inner tension…a state in which contradiction does not disappear, but becomes sustainable.
