The title says it all. This painting shows my formerly daily search for interesting rocks during geological fieldwork as a young master student. It seems I became one with nature. Fully motivated, curious, and adventurous on an exploration tour. In the center of the painting, only half of my face and the water bottle appear rather realistic, whereas the rest of the person is hidden in shadow. My blue workwear interferes with branches and leaves, which appear more abstract further outside. Typical dots from reflecting lights and floral structures crisscrossing most of the painting in a chaotic manner point to a thickly forested area, where obviously it wasn’t easy to find the right trail. Just my life.
