In a room bathed in melancholy moss green, a woman sits with a sad expression in front of a tower of old books overgrown by time. Her fingers rest gently on a crystalline sphere that glows mysteriously from within - as if it harbours the refracted light of past memories.
Her dress of deep green velvet looks as if it has come from another era, the collar is made of withered leaves - traces of decay, but also of the dignity of ageing. Small coils are wrapped in her hair, like relics of forgotten machines or thoughts that spin endlessly.
Delicate butterflies float around her, some drawn, some as if alive. They look like animated scraps of thought, like wandering memories that are neither quite here nor there. An antique wall clock hangs in the background - its clock face weathered, its hands standing still, on the verge of time's extinction.
This scene is a visual poem about loss, memory and lingering in the space between. The woman seems to be waiting for something that is no longer to come - or has long been there, just not visible.
"Die Stunde der Falter" is a symbol of the fragile relationship between knowledge and emotion, between past and present. An image of quiet depth that whispers instead of speaking - and it is precisely in this that it unfolds its greatest power.
