SOLACE

The Narrative: A Sanctuary of Shared Humanity

SOLACE represents the emotional zenith of the triptych, conveying a profound, intricate form of enlightenment. As the perspective shifts to this close-up view, the boyish figure emerges with clarity, set against the masked countenance of the protector.

This "Common Ground", both the physical sand and the emotional shared basis, is where the weight of fear and loneliness is finally exhaled. Spannenburg draws from his complex history with Islamic cultures, moving from the distance of a soldier to the intimacy of an artist. He acknowledges the fear he felt as a gay man, yet chooses to find a sanctuary within the very symbols that once represented the unknown.

This work is a masterclass in tension and relief; the heavy, dark fabric acts as a shroud for sorrow, allowing the light to highlight the tenderness of the skin. For curators, this piece is a significant statement on the power of art to bridge the gap between "us" and "them," finding a universal language in the act of holding one another.
