About this artwork
The transformation from camel to lion to child takes place in every human being without ceasing, we just do not want to perceive it all the time, but it
exists. Friedrich Nietzsche made it the subject of his work >Thus Spoke Zarathustra<: three stages that the human spirit goes through in the course of its self-discovery. The camel stands for humility, contentment, the ability to suffer; the lion for power, freedom in the sense of the sovereignty… of the strongest,
self-determination; the child finally wants a new beginning in innocence, ie innocently says >yes< to life.
Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence is expressed here: the child as the starting and end point of the eternal development of the individual.
In the end, the only way out of this cycle is through the green door of hope, which, however, is not always open.
I dedicated the picture to Franz Kafka; one of his most important texts is entitled >The Metamorphosis<.
