... is like the condensation of a whole life in the here and now
This woman thinks. She does not think ahead. She feels BEHIND the obvious. Symbolized by the two pairs of eyes, Carola X directs the view to the temporal "behind" of each thought. That which can irritate, at the same time slows down the experience of time. It is as if we look into these eyes twice at once.
The image captivates us through the eyes of the pensive face and the hand dominating the foreground. Carola X underlines this fixation through the selective use of bright red areas as well as the striking traverse through the middle of the face.
Thick cement-like surfaces, delicate color overlays, connecting elements and also everything else are exciting details and additions that only at "second glance" allow the statement THINK to be interpreted.
