Odd morning at the flooded Kupa river 2013

Here, Alfred Freddy Krupa presents us with a view of the flooded Kupa River in monochrome tones, heavy with atmospheric tension. The flood is not merely a natural event; it evokes the ancient symbol of the deluge, a motif deeply embedded in our collective consciousness. The flood appears in Mesopotamian myths, like the story of Noah, and in other traditions, symbolizing purification, destruction, and rebirth. The river, typically a source of life, here becomes an agent of chaos, mirroring psychological states of upheaval and emotional release. This duality—life and death, order and chaos—echoes in the subconscious fears and hopes that floods have represented across cultures and epochs. This scene is a powerful symbol, engaging viewers on a deeply felt, subconscious level. Floods have always been a reminder of our vulnerability to the forces of nature and the ever-present potential for renewal after devastation.
