Internal War [Innere Kriegsbemalung]

This fierce sculpture manifests the moment when silence breaks - a primal scream made tangible, capturing the violent tenderness of resurrection. The piece embodies both battle cry and love song, exploring how we must sometimes shatter ourselves to let life flood back in.

The sculpture's surface appears marked by internal struggle, bearing traces that suggest both wounds and warpaint, scars and sacred markings. Its form conveys explosive energy barely contained - as if the material itself had been shaped by sound waves, by the force of a scream that calls love back from the void. Areas of deep shadow give way to surfaces that seem to vibrate with renewed vitality.

The work captures the paradox of fragile violence - structures that appear both delicate and forceful, crystalline formations that suggest both breaking and blooming. Light plays across the piece to reveal hidden depths where darkness still lingers, even as new life erupts through the cracks.

Schrei so laut du kannst und spür wie die Liebe zurückkehrt
Dort wo nurmehr Schwärze war
Wird wieder Leben sein.
Fragil und mit viel Gewalt.

Innere Kriegsbemalung stands as a monument to necessary destruction, to the courage required to shatter our own darkness with sound and fury. It speaks to those moments when gentleness isn't enough, when love returns not as whisper but as roar, when rebirth demands both vulnerability and ferocity.

For collectors who understand that healing sometimes requires war paint, that the most profound transformations arrive with both fragility and force - a sculpture that honors the beautiful violence of becoming whole again.
