Description:
"Delivery of the Pagodas" etching by Jochen Kublik.
In general, it’s a reflection to my last China trip and having seen the Moon and Sun Pagodas in Guilin!
In humor works I like to put things on wheels...it can be fragility or insecurity of life and knowledge but in the main part it is giving dynamic to a picture compared to a still-life.
The vehicle became a dragon and a fish head - some of the strongest symbols in Chinese philosophy.
Dragon: might, power, divine protection, emperor, procreation, the male
Fish: abundance, wealth, prosperity, endurance
Pagodas: in the origin they are connected to Buddhism, buildings to keep some relics of Buddha or enlightened monks, since around 600 years they became parallel even common buildings.
For my European eyes they are a kind of landmark (as any tower) but also an unusual architecture, an interesting subject to use. -Jochen Kublik
