About the artwork

An image manipulation of the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam shows the puppets being cut loose from their ropes. The night light gives the photo a mysterious atmosphere, while it also looks like the bridge acts as a stage for the puppets.

The symbolism of the puppets being cut loose from their ropes raises questions about freedom, autonomy and the search for identity. The night light casts an intriguing glow on the scene, making the puppets and the bridge seem to come alive in the darkness, so to speak.

The Erasmus Bridge acts as a central element in the image, emphasising the city of Rotterdam and its iconic architecture. At the same time, the bridge seems to serve as a symbolic stage, on which the puppets tell their own story in the silent darkness of the night.

The combination of the mysterious atmosphere and the suggestion of a stage creates an intriguing visual contrast that invites the viewer to reflect further on the meaning of the image. It raises questions about the role of the puppets and the bridge in the bigger picture of society, inviting interpretation and discussion.

All in all, this image adaptation offers a fascinating view of the Erasmus Bridge and its surroundings, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination in the glow of the night light. It invites the viewer to speculate on the hidden meanings and symbolism of the image, and to get carried away by the mysterious atmosphere it evokes.
