The Question of Life's Goals

The sculpture “Coordinates” at the ARTWALK in Lech not only marks Lech’s geographic location but also invites visitors to reflect on their personal goals and the path to achieving them. The coordinates N 47.207048 E 10.139040 mark the end of a journey—the arrival at a refuge in the Alps. Yet the sculpture also raises the question of what other goals there are that truly bring us fulfillment.

Life as a Path to a Goal

N 47.207048 E 10.139040

Anyone standing before this sculpture has reached a geographical destination, but it inspires us to reflect on our own life goals: Are they things we seek far away, or do we ultimately find them within ourselves and our immediate surroundings? The sculpture symbolizes this inner and outer journey—the balancing act between the pursuit of success and the search for contentment.

The sculpture’s delicate structure, anchored at a single point, appears to float freely and embodies the lightness that can accompany us on our journey toward our goals. Its delicate lines form a globe—a gift to all those who are on the move, whether traveling along geographical paths or on their personal journey through life.
