What is special about this artwork, however, lies in the middle, between the second and third waves. Here is a sailing ship, which, unlike the waves, is not patinated, but has been highly polished gold-plated. This contrast between the shiny ship and the blue patinated waves creates a profound symbolism.
The sailing ship symbolizes man's journey through life. It represents adventure, discovery and the search for a goal. The waves, on the other hand, represent the challenges and obstacles we encounter on this journey. The choice of material, bronze, gives the artwork a timeless quality and reminds us that life itself is a continuous process of change and metamorphosis.
The gilding of the sailing ship makes it stand out from the waves, emphasizing its importance and presence. It becomes a shining symbol of hope and potential that accompanies us on our journey. It reminds us that, even in difficult times, we have the opportunity to pursue our dreams and achieve our goals.
The size of the artwork, 80cm x 40cm x 13cm, allows the viewer to delve into the details and nuances of the composition. It invites you to explore the different elements and discover the metaphorical meaning behind the arrangement.
Overall, the artwork “Someone, there” by Dennis Josef Meseg is a profound reflection on the human quest for fulfillment and the challenges we encounter along the way. It reminds us that we are in a constant flow of change and that we have the power to achieve our goals even when we face difficulties.
The work was cast using the lost wax technique. Afterwards, the sailing ship and waves were hand polished. The waves were additionally patinated and the sailing ship was gold-plated with high-quality 999 real gold by a jeweler.

Dennis Josef Meseg is a contemporary German artist whose passion for the diverse facets of the world, encompassing people, animals, and nature, serves as the driving force behind his artistic endeavors. Meseg's approach to creating installations is distinct, rooted not in the pursuit of easy commercial appeal due to their aesthetic beauty, but rather in their capacity to convey enduring and socially critical messages.
Motivated by a desire to directly engage audiences with topics that often linger at a distance or remain abstract, Meseg's art addresses issues such as consumption, the environment, war, pandemics, and the hidden costs of prosperity. Through his installations, he seeks to prompt meaningful conversations and draw attention to shared concerns that impact us all.
Meseg's art serves as a powerful means to connect with people, providing a platform to engage them in dialogue and raise awareness about critical issues. The artist's dedication to initiating conversations is reflected in the overwhelmingly positive responses to his installations. Notably, his Corona memorial piece titled "It is like it is" received acclaim and was honored with the CREO Prize in 2021.
Continuing his impactful artistic journey, Meseg's current installation, "Broken 1.4 | Broken/(Un)Broken," sheds light on the global suffering endured by oppressed, tortured, and often fatally victimized women and girls. The resonance and positive reception of his work stand as both motivation and confirmation that Meseg is making a meaningful difference with his art, inspiring change and fostering awareness in the world around him.
