IRRLÆUFER

With „Amathriel“ IRRLÆUFER creates a dark vision of female power, retribution, and transformation. The central figure—half woman, half chimera—stands triumphantly before a ruined Isengard, a symbol of civilization, a severed male head in one hand, a sword in the other. Her gaze is cold, self-assured, almost divinely remote. Her crown and her long hair, which falls like a veil down her back, underscore the ambivalence between grace and brutality.

At her feet are the artist’s cats, eager to devour the shredded humanity still contained in the severed head. The threateningly swirling clouds seem to emerge directly from within her, as if she herself were the source of chaos. „Amathriel“ becomes the archetypal figure of righteous anger, female retribution, and supernatural sovereignty.

As in „Return of the Witch-king“, IRRLÆUFER uses a powerful, high-contrast imagery that combines elements of classical iconography with dark mythology. „Amathriel“ is a symbol of transformation: the end of an order, the awakening of a new will—cruel, beautiful, unstoppable.
