Ups and Downs

„A plant from the greenhouse can’t survive a storm.“

– Pia Bardou

Inspired by Ferdinand Hodler’s paintings “The Ascent” and “The Fall”, our latest mural at the Freiherr-von-Stein Secondary School explores the seductive rise and sudden crash within social media.

In dialogue with the students, a piece emerged that reflects on visibility, public shaming, and the fragile line between empowerment and vulnerability.

As fathers, this topic touches us deeply. The question of how to guide and protect our children in a digital world is of great importance to us.

A work about responsibility, vulnerability, and the hope for resilience.

Special thanks to #wallsofvision and the Freiherr-von-Stein Secondary School for making this possible.
