„Secrets“
In the depth of the rocks,
Where time spins in circles and spirals,
Lie the signs, ancient and wise,
Left by the hands of the ancestors.
The symbols whisper, in reddish glow,
Of riddles breaking through the years,
Of a world blooming in shadows,
Where the stones keep secrets and speak.
Circles within circles, lines in the sand,
A mirror of the stars, sent from the sky,
A path we follow, hidden in the dark,
To a truth that carries us through worries.
The rocks tell what words cannot say,
They sing of days long forgotten,
An echo held in stone,
A knowledge that lives, recognized only by the soul.
Here stand the guardians, so silent and still,
Yet the signs awaken, in flicker and glow,
And lead us deep into the heart of the Earth,
Where the wisdom of ancestors eternally lives.
Interpretation
With this work I immerse the viewer in a mystical world full of symbols and enigmatic signs. The artfully engraved symbols on the tree and the monolith appear as ancient scripts of a forgotten language. They speak of mysteries deeply rooted in the Earth and human hearts. The scene seems to come from another realm where reality and myth merge. It invites one to pause, discover the invisible, decode the ancestors messages, and feel the connection to ancient times. The symbols act as a gateway to ancient rituals and knowledge, waiting to be rediscovered.
Art Critique
The work showcases a harmonious balance between natural structure and cultural symbolism. The artist uses a muted palette of earthy tones to emphasize the mystical atmosphere. The engravings almost appear to glow, as if emerging from the tree. The composition guides the eye through the piece, starting with the central, prominently placed symbols and ending with the hidden elements in the shadows. Particularly noteworthy is how light is employed: it highlights details while preserving enough darkness to maintain secrecy. This interplay between visibility and concealment strengthens the theme of mystery.
