Antriebswesen (drive systems) is a series of 12 separate square-shaped watercolor paintings. Each painting is composed of a a simple four letter word. The letters are handdrawn and inspired by old arcade pixel fonts from the 1980s. Each word represents a basic subconscious or conscious psychological force driving human activity.
