Memorial Exlibris in Honor of Friedrich Nietzsche

The central symbol of this work is a dead dove — a metaphor for the rupture between man and God. This image reflects the philosopher’s key idea of the loss of spiritual connection and the crisis of faith.

The graphic representation of Nietzsche’s famous phrase — “God is dead” — is placed at the bottom of the composition, emphasizing the depth and tragedy of this thought.

The exlibris design combines simplicity and symbolism, creating a powerful visual message that invites reflection on the essence of existence.

This work won first place in the Felix Kider competition in the memorial exlibris category.
