Original artwork description:

The book "Het Ontsnapte Land" by Geert Mak served as a source of inspiration for this painting. The artist incorporated texts fragments in the painting with leaf metal:

“At the beginning of the twentieth century, the flat, untouched Dutch countryside to which light can hardly attach itself was not very common. […] Today we hardly realize that a large part of this land should lie a few meters below a sloshing water surface […]" (From Het Ontsnapte Land” by Geert Mak)

The changing incidence of light during the day ensures that the texts stand out more or less. This changes the painting during the course of the day. The painting is ready to hang. Because the sides are painted there is no need for a frame.
