Sculpture
The angelic soul of the shovel
170 years. Two lives.
What once moved water as the blade of a waterwheel at the Neumühle Wollerau now moves people.
A historical component is transformed into a work of art – shaped by history, time and transformation. For me, it is the angelic soul of the blade: a symbol that even what is supposedly a thing of the past can find new meaning.
Before. After. And in between, the power of art.
