STONES 2014 – ARTWALK in Lech

Overcoming obstacles and creating something new

The sculpture ‘Stones’ at the ARTWALK in Lech picks up on the obstacles that we encounter on our path through life. A tower of stones blocking the way may seem insurmountable at first. But a change of perspective makes it clear that these stones are not the end, but the beginning of something new.

Transforming obstacles into opportunities

How a burden becomes light

“You can build something beautiful even from stones that are placed in your path” – this quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, engraved in the artwork, invites us to transform the negative into something constructive. Challenges that we encounter in life can serve as a motor for growth and progress.

“There’s no stoneless path in life. But you can simply build something beautiful with all these stones.”

Rethinking challenges

The combination of robust Corten steel and the rough, angular shapes symbolises both resistance and the potential for transformation. What initially appears to be a burden becomes an incentive to grow in the face of challenges. The large stones blocking the path lose their heaviness in the sculpture; seemingly flying towards the sky, they dissolve and clear the way.
