It is one of the five regular polyhedra and represents the 'living'. According to the philosopher Plato for the quintessence as the fifth element. The key and the clocks can also be found in other works by the artist. The motif was chosen to match the building - the hotel as a place of relaxation.

 Water in the spectrumThe living element water can be seen here in the entire colour spectrum. The clock hands point to the centre of the clock, to the here and now. There everyone can recover and be inspired. The words "to recover" and "to inspire" have the passive meaning of letting something arrive (Lat.: In 'into' and spiritus 'breath', 'soul', 'spirit').

The object in which the key is located is called the pentagon dodecahedron. It is one of the five regular polyhedra and represents the 'living'. According to the philosopher Plato for the quintessence as the fifth element. The key and the clocks can also be found in other works by the artist.

The motif was chosen to match the building - the hotel as a place of relaxation. With its elements, the artwork is the counterpart to the work Earth at Untere Königstraße 103.
