Reaching for the Stars (Zu den Sternen greifen) depicts a figure standing slightly left of center, reaching toward a star above. The gesture draws the eye upward and captures the moment in which a wish becomes a conscious act. What appears distant is no longer merely observed, but actively pursued. Two smaller figures stand in the background on the right. They watch the scene from a distance without intervening. The difference in scale creates a distinct tension between the figure who acts and those who remain observers. While the two figures stay in place, the central figure dares to move beyond the familiar. The star may be understood as a symbol of a personal goal, a hope, or an idea that initially seems beyond reach. Reaching for it does not imply certainty of success. Rather, it means giving one’s desire enough significance to move toward it. The work speaks of courage, initiative, and the willingness to step into visibility, even under the gaze of others. Within the visual language of Narratio Graphica, this moment is embedded in a multilayered environment. Strong black contours structure the pictorial space, while shades of blue, white, gold, and earth tones mediate between proximity and distance, reality and imagination. Reaching for the Stars becomes a narrative about the idea that goals do not come closer through observation alone, but through the decision to begin reaching for them.
