The pictorial weave of elements on the columns consists of excerpts from my archive of images, texts, found objects, and tattoo templates – translated into a way to draw with the tattoo machine on concrete columns.
Not only my own motifs were used, but also those with a focus on seafaring romance/Christian symbolism (faith, love, hope) from the extensive private archive of my friend and mentor, the legendary tattoo artist Herbert Hoffmann (1919-2010).
