Journey Without End Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Journey Without End In 2021, many of us have seen, and I think we have all been touched by the images of refugees desperately seeking a way out of the forests in Belarus. Hunted from one side, stopped on the other. Meanwhile, in the forests, they find little shelter in the cold nights. We can hardly imagine what it is like to have to leave your motherland in search of a safe life. They hope to receive a friendly welcome, but it turns out to be a harsh journey without end. This work was inspired by that event at the time, and made for all the refugees on earth, desperate for a safe haven. And now, a few years later, millions of people are still on the run, at best housed far from home in a foreign country, or hunted down by a neighbouring country or by rebel groups that are in the process of destroying their homeland, millions of other people have been driven away because of discrimination, war or because there is no longer a livable environment for them due to the crisis the earth is in... This is a digital artwork, printed with high-quality ink on museum-quality, acid-free cotton/rag paper (Hahnemühle Photo Rag® Ultra Smooth 305 g/sqm). The work comes in a limited edition of 10, signed and with a certificate of authenticity. For this work, I start with a photograph made by myself, which I edit in multiple process runs and in several layers by color manipulation and adding and editing multiple digital photographic effects, until a surrealistic atmosphere is created that touches me. The photograph I begin with has an impressionistic, abstract or abstract realist style, which is the basis for all my work.
