Astrid Krehan Switzerland Nominee Abstract Amateur "SPANGLE" SPANGLE emerged from the patina of an ancient rusty door in Nanxun, a historic water town in Zhejiang Province, China. In traditional Chinese culture, a door is not merely a functional structure but a potent symbol. It delineates the boundary between the external world and the sanctuary of home, representing thresholds of warmth and cold, safety and risk. My fascination with Chinese culture and its rich tapestry of symbols inspired me to transform this door into an abstract. By employing subtle post-processing techniques, I have unearthed and accentuated the hidden colors of the door, bringing its deep symbolic significance to vibrant life. |
