Hundertwasser's comment on the work

The picture can be looked at from three sides, each of which makes sense: tree, head, vase, for example. Here I drew the paths which lead to the various dwellings with meticulous precision. All of them put together make up a broad road. I wanted to draw such a path out of an apartment house or the Art Academy, too, beginning with every flat or studio door, with a ceramic line firmly fixed in the ground, all the way to the exit. The nearer one gets to the exit, the more lines come together. This is one architectural idea of mine that has yet to be realised. I painted the picture in Craig Fagan's hut, at Waikare Inlet. The half-open door served as a window. If it was closed, it was dark. There was a little stove in the hut. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 578)
