About the artwork

On a sunny day, filled with the sound of birds whistling and the gentle whistling of the wind, the Steampunk Dragonfly rests on a sandstone wall like a mechanical pearl amidst the natural splendour. Its sleek body rests against the warm, rough surface of the wall, while its wings unfurl along its side like the blades of an antique fan.

Libelle's gleaming exoskeleton, decorated with ornate engravings and accents of polished copper, reflects the sunlight seeping through the leaves of the trees above him. The warm tones of the sandstone form a harmonious contrast to Libelle's mechanical splendour, making its presence even more impressive.

As the Libelle rests, it seems as if it stops time itself for a moment. Its steam-powered mechanisms simmer gently after a long flight through the clear sky. Its lithe wings, made of lightweight metal, seem to vibrate with the gentle breeze blowing through the environment, as a reminder of its connection to the natural world around it.

Despite its resting state, the Libelle's sensors and optical instruments remain vigilant, ready to notice any movement in its surroundings. Its glittering eyes, like polished sapphires, scan the landscape as it monitors its surroundings with the alertness of a natural hunter.

On this sandstone wall, amid the serene beauty of nature, the Steampunk Dragonfly stands as a tribute to humanity's imagination and the endless possibilities of technological innovation. A symbol of harmony between man and machine, it almost seems to become one with its surroundings, a vivid example of the symbiosis between technology and natural splendour.
