Swimming, 2023. acrylic on canvas, 160 x 120 cm. CARINA SCHUBERT
Swimming. This is my switch off. My immersion. From the world. From all stimuli. From all feelings. In the water there is only me. My body. There I am weightless. There I submerge. There I am only me. Every time I am only me. The same. And yet with so much more experience.
I painted this picture in the summer of 2023. A summer in which I swim my lengths on the Old Danube as I do every summer. Descending the same footbridge stairs. Swim along the same buoys. Covering the same distance. And yet, again, everything has changed since last summer. So many challenges I've overcome. So many tears I have cried. From joy, from sadness, from fear and from anger. And it feels so good to dive into that water. Every year more mature. Every year older. Every year more and more me.
