Lifecycles
This "painting" I am showing you today is one of my few 3-dimensional works I did when I was a student of Architecture more than 10 years ago. I produced this one in the beautiful project/lab 'city' of Arcosanti in the high desert of Arizona. The awesome and ancient landscape around me inspired me to work on several profound pieces within a period of a year.
This one here is about the neverending cycle of life & death and portraits some kind of demon, representing this eternal principle of the universe. It began like a puzzle with so many different pieces coming together. I used almost everything I could find or build around me to fill the empty wood frame. I hope you enkoy the progress pics...I had to dig deep to find them...:-)

A puzzle without a template...

@denniskonstantin This piece reminds me of one of my most inspiring shamanic journeys. Specifically the parts where I explored the interwoven fabric of existence.
