Mobile Paradise

The subject of the graphic art work Mobile Paradise is man’s longing for a good life as well as for genuine indigenous nature. People imagine paradise as a wonderful place to be and to live. In reality though, man practically destroys his original natural surroundings simply by being there. The more man pursues paradise, the further away it retreats.

And paradise is not always just a blissful place to be; even there it is possible for someone to feel both happy and sad at the same time. But there is still the aspiration towards a good, fine life. There is no declaration as such; there are just the hidden fantasies of everyday life and a quiet voice speaking of the importance of simply being and living.
