Put together, the five parts form a model out of stainless steel for
the big bang theory. |
From this big bang stems the solar System with our Earth
and its ecosystem. |
Four parts of the sculpture symbolize the base elements
- fire, earth, water and air - which are considered to be the primary
matter of all things. All substances are composed of the mixture of these
elements (Aristotle). |
|
Broken down into their individual parts, these four parts can be combined
endlessly to create
figures - as in an ecosystem with its multifaceted connections and interrelations. |
They symbolize creativity and spontaneity for investigations,
for taking new paths and for connecting art and technology. |
These four base elements formed the ecosystem and sensitively
bear a polished stainless steel ball, which Stands as a symbol for our
earth. |
|
In combination, they show strength, an ability to accept loads and a
possibility to cushion. |
If the model is put in motion, it displays a certain ability
to accept loads and simultaneously a possible destruction of our ecosystem. |
