care

The artwork "Care for Your Brain" shows a surreal scene that at first glance is reminiscent of classical genre painting, but is interspersed with a modern and surreal element. Two young women in traditional clothing stand at a table holding a human brain in their hands. Measuring 13 x 18 cm, this work captivates the viewer with the calm, concentrated posture of the two figures and the unexpected object in their hands.

The quiet, almost reverent scene conveys a message of caring, but in an unusual context - the brain here symbolizes the human mind, thinking and intelligence that needs to be nurtured. The careful handling of the brain by the two women could indicate the importance of mental health and protecting our minds. The image invites the viewer to reflect on how we nurture and value our own spiritual well-being.

Combining historical aesthetics with a surreal, modern theme, the work plays with ideas of care, knowledge, and the responsibility we have towards our own minds. "Care for Your Brain" elegantly combines the traditional with a contemporary reflection on the importance of thinking and intellectual care.

This work of art will be exhibited from September 26th to October 13th in the historic town hall of Duderstadt. Shipping is only possible after October 16th.
