“Umweltfarben” presents four agricultural tools coated with layers of natural materials—crushed leaves, hay, and earth tones—transforming each tool with the colors and textures of the landscape. This piece is a poetic reflection on rural life, where the boundaries between nature and culture blur and a deep, tactile connection to the land is ever-present.
By enveloping these everyday tools in materials from nature, “Umweltfarben” suggests a quiet harmony between human work and the earth, evoking the lived beauty of rural environments. Without imposing a viewpoint, the work leaves space for viewers to consider their own ideas of place, labor, and the gentle integration of life with land.
