Artist, German, born 1938

The image is taken from a low vantage point looking towards a distant landmass from the water. The horizon is positioned in the upper third of the image, where the marshland meets the sky. On the horizon, there is an abandoned building with visible openings. The image is in black and white, emphasizing the contrast between the water, marsh grasses, and the sky. Close to us, the water's surface shows gentle ripples, while the marsh grasses create a textured line leading to the building in the distance. The overall effect is calm and serene, with a strong horizontal emphasis throughout.
