FIERY EARTH 2015 – ARTWALK in Lech

Earth in flames – a fragile planet between preservation and destruction

The sculpture ‘Fire Earth’ at the ARTWALK in Lech captures the constant cycle of change and transformation, symbolised by the dynamically rising flames. The planet Earth rests fragilely at the centre of this fire – a symbol of the balance that is both supported and endangered by human activity.

 

The fire – man’s soul

Keeping balance

The flames surround the earth and symbolise all our plans, struggles, thoughts and habits. They show how difficult it is to maintain a balance between destruction and preservation. The flame has two faces: as a warming, protective force, it stands for confidence and good coexistence; as a consuming force, it symbolises threat and destruction.

“Our planet. So wonderful and unique, our living environment. A gift of God, our life. Let’s watch out that the fire never extinguishes.”

Fiery Balance: The Challenge of Our Planet

Giving the environment a voice

The Alps in particular – as a sensitive natural area ­– illustrate the challenge of maintaining a balance between the utilisation and protection of nature. The ‘Fire Earth’ serves as food for thought to take responsibility for this balance – because our actions will determine the future and fate of our planet.
