Siehdichum The intertwined tendrils of Siehdichum form their own surreal, almost figurative patterns in the water. Bundled branches and lines of force are made perceptible as the living internal framework of a world submerged in liquid. The monochrome coloring of the structures heightens their calligraphic and impressionistic aspects. Only in indirect, reflected reproduction do water and vegetation fuse to form expressive images. The forest was a forest no longer; suddenly even the smallest tree appeared to her as a world unto itself, the smallest twig as an adventure worth a thousand fairytales. The pond appeared to her as an endless sea — not because it was so big or so deep, but because of its billions of glittering details and ingenious waves. Jostein Gaarder
