Letter I – Natrix and Her Explosive Vision of Freedom

Artist Natrix has left her distinctive mark on the letter “I” in the #FreiheitBerlin installation. Her works are powerful symbols of energy, passion, and the relentless drive to push boundaries. Every line and detail she creates captures what freedom means to her, and this is vividly expressed on Teufelsberg. Join us as we dive into Natrix’s world, where art is not just seen but deeply felt.

Flame of Freedom

For Natrix, freedom is “about overcoming boundaries and constantly forging new paths” – an intense and passionate process. “Explosives and fire best symbolize the immense power and passion needed for this fight.” This sentiment is reflected in her contribution to the letter “I.” The piece depicts a burning fuse, slowly heading toward an explosive climax. It’s a striking symbol of energy, change, and determination, illustrating the immense force required to achieve freedom.

The fire as a central motif invites multiple interpretations. It could represent the determination of an individual willing to risk everything to overcome obstacles. The visual strength of the fire and its underlying explosive energy reinforce the idea that freedom is not passively obtained but is an active, often challenging, process.

Natrix’s Floral Mural

In addition to this work, Natrix also participated in the Power of Female Art Festival, held at Teufelsberg in March 2024. Sixteen female artists created remarkable murals amid music and a vibrant atmosphere. Her piece depicts a surreal representation of flowers contained in a glass vessel. The delicate, bell-shaped blossoms appear almost fragile, yet their precise, flowing forms convey a quiet strength. Her artwork could be seen as a metaphor for growth and beauty, standing resilient despite their fragility.

The choice of flowers as a motif leaves room for interpretation: perhaps they symbolize the delicacy of life or the fragility of freedom. At the same time, the artwork’s cool colors and soft shapes exude a meditative calm, contrasting sharply with the dynamic and explosive nature of her contribution to the #FreiheitBerlin project.
