About the artwork

The digital artwork "Value and Return" depicts an intriguing cityscape full of symbolism and subtle details. At its centre is a white building with the name "House of Value and Return", prominently depicted in sober, red letters, as if it were a place of meaning or reflection. On the facade is a large, striking painting of a bird, colourful and expressive, its beak opened as if to warn you. This bird seems to represent both freedom and return, a motif that reinforces the work's theme.
To the right of the image, a road runs alongside the building, over which falls the shadow of a tree that itself is not visible-a subtle play on absence and presence. A lone lamppost stands at the edge of the pavement, bearing a "right of way from left" sign, giving an unexpected focus on traffic rules and direction. At the edge of the road, a red-and-white bollard marks the boundary between bike path and roadway, a small but powerful detail that emphasises order and separation.
Further on, beyond the "House of Value and Reparation", other buildings rise, vaguely but palpably present, as if the world beyond this moment stretches on. Everything takes place under a brilliant blue sky, where only a faint, almost invisible cloud floats-a subtle break in perfection. The artwork evokes a sense of stillness and movement at the same time, like a place where meaning and everydayness intersect.
