When I started this piece in 2001 I wasn't quite sure about the final composition. I just knew I wanted this corridor and the broken spheres, elements which I already used earlier in several small paintings. I was confident I'd come up with an idea while I'd be working on it. But it wasn't that easy. I got stuck after months of work and it took me another 2 years to figure out how to finish it: It was all about the central tower.

The size/details ratio of this painting is quite insane, something I'll probably never do again because it's so extremely time-consuming.
