Original artwork description:

This tree is very old and planted by the grand- grandfather near my home in a dutch polder.
A polder is a low-lying tract of land that forms an artificial hydrological entity, enclosed by embankments known as dikes. Every moment is different, every moment is new.
The famous Zeelandic light is always playing a great role, the sea is reflecting it.
The Netherlands is frequently associated with polders, as its engineers became noted for developing techniques to drain wetlands and make them usable for agriculture and other development. This is illustrated by the saying: "God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands".
