In the work „Lazy“ we look at moments of total relaxation. A woman in a red swimming costume and a large yellow sun hat swims comfortably in the water. The sun is shining, the water temperature can almost be felt. It seems as if there were no before and after, completely immersed in the moment - without worries and duties.

The work „LAZY“ was created almost two years after Greta Tunberg made her urgent appeal for climate protection to UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the UN Climate Change Conference in Katowice, Poland, in 2018 and subsequently gave a speech in the plenary hall of the summit. So it seems that the woman - swimming in her red swimming costume and yellow hat - is representative of a large part of our society that puts provit and short-term success above our common climate welfare. Or does she want to „move forward“ and simply not reach the shore? It is high time to act, otherwise we will all go swimming.
