The public installation at St. Hedwig Hospital makes the shared experience of the patients and staff of a ward visible. I painted watercolors in the courtyard and discussed them with the team and patients. It became clear that a plane tree was an important point of reference for most. People saw the tree from the old ward, but no longer from the new one. I drew exactly this tree from a frog’s perspective on transparent silk. People could watch me work from the windows of the ward. Then I finished painting it in the studio. The painting now hangs in a common room of the new ward, illuminated from behind. It encourages people to talk and invites a poetic contemplation.
