To speak of transformations is, among other things, to speak of the experience of time. As an attentive contemporary, the artist has naturally been aware of and reflected on the changes in society in recent years. All these upheavals in public and private life have been depicted metaphorically in Schwarz's paintings. Schwarz has depicted all these upheavals in public and private life metaphorically in her paintings. Her figures have been thrown off balance because certainties have been shattered and the foundations of coexistence can no longer be relied upon. Stability seems to be possible only with technical aids, and holding and supporting others becomes a balancing act. The artist has chosen the motif of a stick as a metaphor for this, which can function as a prosthesis, crutch, walking stick, scepter, or baton. The artifact of the disabled can become the artifact of disability.
