Fles met het opschrift: Woorden gelden niet before 1692

This is a clear glass bottle, decorated with swirling script, made by an anonymous artist. The inscription reads: "Woorden gelden niet" which translates to "Words are Meaningless". The statement raises questions about truth, meaning, and the power of language in society. It may reflect a skepticism towards political rhetoric or social discourse, particularly relevant in times of conflict or uncertainty. One cannot help but wonder if the artist was thinking about promises made and broken, or the disparity between words and actions. Bottles often contain substances that alter perception or mood. This adds another layer to the inscription, implying perhaps that words are as empty as a bottle. The emotional impact of the piece lies in its challenge to our faith in communication, urging us to look beyond words to find truth.
