The monumental horse, the dynamic and powerful figure of the rider is meant to reflect the forces of the apocalypse. The small, distorted figures are often interpreted as humanity, which is dominated by the forces of the apocalypse, helpless in the face of the coming cataclysm.The fixtures shown in the visualizations are for illustrative purposes and do not constitute a commercial offer.
