This work can be taken as both an individual artwork as well as part of a set with the photograph Fragile. Both photos capture a moment of contemplation about love. It is left up to the viewer to form his or her own thoughts. Doe he dream of a new love or does he search for a love lost that he hopes to win back? The characters are naked to show their vulnerability.

Marcel Salome about Karl Hammer
"As curator of Dreamscapes I'm always searching for new art and I happened upon the art photography of Karl Hammer. His artworks intrigue because of the atmosphere that he realizes in his work but also through their narrative qualities. The often beautiful male and female models distract you from hidden messages in the work that the viewer often doesn't capture on first viewing."
Photographer and artist Karl Hammer is one of those rare persons that was able to work himself up from a dark past into a bright future. After a youth spent in neglect, crime and a life on the streets he became a successful video editor, journalist and writer and finally, an art photographer. His photography, laden with symbolism and hidden message, has a fast growing fan base that appreciates his narrative art, sense of aesthetics and use of colors.
