In this site-specific mural created for The Crystal Ship, Lindert Steegen presents an imaginative landscape where a swan navigates a surreal terrain. The composition captures the creature in a state of ongoing self-transformation, its form bending and evolving alongside the vibrant planes of color that define the surrounding environment.

Rooted in the overarching festival theme of change, Steegen introduces a touching contrast: a small, dark bird is subtly embedded within the scene, serving as a quiet symbol of transience and the sudden unpredictability of any given moment. Through his signature bold geometry and sharp forms, the artist subverts traditional landscape painting, transforming an urban wall into a psychological space of flux, metamorphosis, and vulnerability.
