"The artist's lines carry with them the dignity of the spirit. There is the language of lines, it is the language within us. Only those who are vertical themselves, in the literal and real sense of the word, can draw and understand a vertical line. Then the invisible line within us is revealed'. Karl Schmid, Worte zu Linien - Linien zu Worte - With this sculpture, the artist had been able to transform the rigidity of a few wooden sticks into the floating vitality of a flame reaching upward.
