Hundertwasser's comment on the work
With this painting I took up the idea I had as a six-year-old, when I built a steamer out of sand, with cotton for the steam. I use it as an example when a painter asks me how he should find himself. The simple answer: "Go on from where you were forced to stop dreaming as a child." (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 183)
