Three locked towers in shades of pink, ochre and purple are suspended against an rolling background. The sky above the buildings is filled with blood-red clouds from which pink tears descend. The atmosphere of this print from the ‘Icons’ series is ceremonial and suffocating, despite the colourful palette that is so typical in Ingmar’s work.

This work is an icon of sorrow, in which grief lies hidden behind thick walls. It is a depiction of a great flood, the story of blood-red tears being shed by a god upon his failed work.
