Planta tuberosa 

Wols, born Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze, created "Planta Tuberosa" using etching, a medium that mirrors the delicacy and fragility often found in his work. Schulze's identity as Wols emerged during a time of immense social and political upheaval, as he fled Nazi Germany and lived in poverty in France. "Planta Tuberosa" offers a glimpse into Wols' unique perspective. His approach can be described as a raw, unfiltered expression of inner experience. This work invites us into a world of organic forms and tangled lines. It evokes a sense of the subterranean, of life stirring beneath the surface. Wols once said that his art was "a voyage of discovery into the self." In this context, the "Planta Tuberosa" can be viewed as a metaphor for the artist's own search for identity and meaning in a world marked by displacement and uncertainty.
