“The Waiting Ones” – artwork by Martin Schaub from Rotenburg.

Those waiting greet the visitor as companions and protectors. In a hectic time, they convey the value and importance of slowness. Waiting lying down is passive – waiting standing is active. An archaic, classic-antique appearance, such as the symmetry of a sphinx avenue, is the aim. In keeping with Western culture, this group of people waiting is strictly linear, approaching a spiritual construct more than nature.

A piece of news: The work of art has been shining in rich red since 2023!
