Artwork Detail
About Theme
Experience this virtual tour to learn about theme of The Secret Lake.
I had a feeling of having penetrated elemental nature. The bottom of the lake is full of roots and of decomposed vegetation, and nature is reborn by way of all this. Never have I experienced a similar sensation. I discovered a prehistoric dimension.
