Underworld by Myrte F. Banen

Underground, for example during excavations or construction work, you never know what surprises you might come across. In this case, it is something left behind by a civilisation from a very long time ago. They are stone figures on raised platforms, all of which look exactly the same. They have no expression on their faces and show no body language. It is impossible to tell what they are looking at. This image is a figment of my own imagination. I am also interested in excavations of ancient civilisations. It is a quiet atmosphere that radiates a great deal of tranquillity, with a sense of coolness. It arouses curiosity to find out more, through research, about this civilisation and the meaning of the figures. You feel a sense of respect for the inhuman grandeur of what you see here. At the same time, it is also very frightening to set about unravelling this mystery. It was created during a good period. This image takes shape entirely in my mind. I might only feel the emotion, in the background, when I have to explain its meaning. But I’m used to this; so it’s very much a part of who I am. People who love the colour green and mystery; excavations; unknown ancient civilisations; interesting, yet-to-be-discovered items; old buildings; something a bit out of the ordinary – they’ll want to hang this on their wall.
