Günther Uecker

Arc of Light 2020

Painting with watercolors

in the vastness of an

ochre-colored desert landscape

on the Persian Gulf.

Water that pours out

from the mountains,

flowing through

an ancient

man-made environment

at the Gulf. Sweet

river water, marrying with

the Arabian Sea

through the Strait

of Hormuz,

a nodal point

in our history.

-Günther Uecker, 2020
