The wooden bridge on Korana river 2017

Alfred Freddy Krupa rendered this artwork of the wooden bridge on the Korana River with ink and white tempera. The bridge is a profound symbol across cultures. As a connection between two points, it represents passage, transition, and the overcoming of divides. Water below the bridge may represent purification, the subconscious, and the ever-changing flow of time. The image echoes motifs found in ancient Roman bridge depictions, symbols of imperial power and connectivity, designed to facilitate the movement of both goods and ideas. The bridge is not merely a practical structure. It exists in our collective memory as a symbol of hope and linkage. In certain contexts, it represents a leap of faith into the unknown or a passage from one state of being to another. The cyclical nature of this symbol resonates deeply, resurfacing in various guises to reflect humanity's perpetual quest for connection and understanding.
