Nachtgarten (alt version)
this is a photo-composite version of “Nachtgarten“ (from last year) it is more raw and you can see the imperfections of the mask made with metal wires. It’s been a very difficult week and this image feels like a release… cathartic and soothing, exactly what I’m needing now.
