13 III 77/3 1977

Oskar Holweck created this artwork sometime around the 13th of March, 1977. At first glance, we see a field of fragmented marks against a stark white background. These aren't mere shapes, but rather echoes of something deeper, perhaps a primitive form of script. Consider how ancient cultures, from cuneiform tablets to early alphabets, used similar marks to encode their worlds. These forms recur across different times and places, carrying with them a sense of collective memory. The sparse composition evokes a primal scene, a return to origins, stripping down to the barest elements of communication. Notice how the deliberate arrangement suggests a hidden order? It stirs a sense of unease, as if we’re on the verge of deciphering a forgotten language, resonating with our deepest anxieties about the unknown. The image thus becomes a Rorschach blot, inviting us to project our own fears and desires onto its surface. The result is a potent, timeless symbol of the human condition.
