Landschap met wilde gans after 1659

This etching, "Landschap met wilde gans," or Landscape with wild goose, was made by an anonymous artist, using etching techniques. The goose, a symbol often associated with migration, community, and resourcefulness, could represent the journey of marginalized communities. In a time when the concept of nature was deeply intertwined with human social structures, the goose, whether wild or domestic, embodies this complex relationship. Its presence can be a meditation on domestication, freedom, and survival within a structured environment. Consider the goose's journey, its place in the landscape, and how it navigates its world. The goose can mirror our own struggles and resilience in the face of societal constraints.
