About the artwork

In a foggy landscape, an intriguing scene unfolds on a calm water surface. Thick patches of fog hang low, making the horizon only vaguely visible, and the surface of the water and the sky seem to merge into one another. Giant matchsticks rise from the water, colossal and charred, looming menacingly above the water as silent witnesses to a destructive force.

A woman balances on the last matchstick, sharply outlined against the misty background. She wears a tight black jumpsuit and a broad black hat, which give her a mysterious and powerful appearance. Her posture is confident, almost defiant. In her right hand, she holds a giant matchstick, the tip of which burns brightly with a fiery orange flame. The light from the flame cuts through the mist and casts a jagged shadow on her face and clothes.

The burnt matches in the water symbolise the bridges that have been burned, a powerful image of closed paths and final choices. The mist intensifies the sense of isolation and mystery, emphasising the uncertainty and invisibility of the future. The woman on the last log with the burning match depicts the conscious act of burning the last connections. Her position on the last log and the fiery match in her hand suggest that she is ready to take the final step, say goodbye, and embark on a new, invisible path.

This image is perfect for art lovers and collectors looking for profound, symbolic works of art that are both aesthetically and emotionally impactful. It is an ideal choice for a living room, office, or gallery where people want to reflect the depth and mystery of life.
