'Give sense to the vulgar, give mysteriousness to the common, give the dignity of the unknown to the obvious and the trace of infinity to the temporal'
- Novalis*

Altered scale, varying viewpoints, a crowd enters the waters in a ritual of 'baptism'...under the protection of a Rare Bird...
A hybrid biotope of image segments, drawing and watercolor elements combined into what becomes a complex collage of a place transcending limitations of space and time.
Macrocosmic yet microcosmic vision, an allegory.

(was made during the period around my birthday on 1st of April)
