In this exhibition, Vicky Anna Lardschneider devoted her artistic focus entirely to the element of water.
While water is often approached in a sober, utilitarian way — measured, controlled, and valued primarily for its usability — the exhibition sought to reveal its deeper emotional, sensory, and existential dimensions.

Through a series of works exclusively centered on water, the artist explored how this element shapes human perception far beyond everyday awareness.
Water appears not only as a natural resource, but as a carrier of mood, memory, and inner resonance.
Its surfaces, movements, depths, and reflections evoke emotional states, awaken associations, and invite introspection.

Lardschneider’s works highlight water’s ability to shift atmosphere and consciousness — from calm and clarity to tension, depth, and transformation.
Rather than depicting water as a static subject, the exhibition approached it as a living presence, constantly in motion and in dialogue with the observer.

The exhibition invited viewers to slow down and look more closely, allowing space for subtle sensations and inner responses to emerge.
In doing so, it questioned how much of our daily experience with water remains unnoticed, despite its constant presence.

This body of work framed water as a threshold element — one that connects outer landscapes with inner states and brings us into contact with our innermost being.
