Hundertwasser's comment on the work
I began this painting on the high sea and finished it in Thailand. On board the Regentag we had about thirty green potted plants whose leaves swayed with the rhythm of the waves as if they were dancers. It is the view from the wheel in the pilot's cabin towards the bow. The round leaves are those of "Ligularia tussilaginea," from the Isle of Elba.
