Sven Saag’s views from grandmother’s garden is an iconic motif, which the author has loved to follow and depict throughout the years, capturing the nuances changing over time, which never lose their nostalgic effect – whether it is a look back at childhood or a moment in the company of a hookah years later. These paintings are heard by the viewers as an echo of the steps in a lush garden far away, which has a hidden gate, through which the shadows behind the walker are stepping through as thoughts that do not let them be watched to the end, even through a modest peek behind a long fringe.
