Commentary

In this chaos of life I recognized the problems like smog and others. On global scale I recognized that people always keep on building and creating things, only to destroy them afterwards. I regard that as very, very bad, primitive, and pointless, which after many years is reflected in a cosmic explanation of mine.

In the background, the picture shows a number of soldiers setting everything ablaze and marching off towards the people that build up something new. I don’t want to take part in this fuss and, since it is like this everywhere on earth, I leave the scenery with a spacecraft carrying useful animals and plants.

It wasn’t until years after the creation of this picture that a woman at an exhibition asked me whether I was reading the bible. She was thinking of Noah’s Ark. To me, this book was totally unknown. It made me curious, and I started to occupy myself with this book. Thus later, the scripture „The Third Testament” came up, devised and written by me. After that, I occupied myself with all religions in general, as well as with esotericism.
