This oil painting depicts a figure standing with downcast gaze and clasped hands against a complex, colorful background. Directly behind the figure looms a roaring tiger, exuding a menacing presence. A green watering can is placed in the right-hand corner of the painting. The title "Water for the Plants" takes on a multifaceted meaning in this context. While the watering can symbolizes an everyday, nurturing act, the figure's collected posture stands in stark contrast to the dynamic animal behind it. The "predator" could represent inner demons or the untamed nature of humankind—those "intense inner turmoil" and "sudden outbursts" that characterize Pia Weissinger's works and that often lie beneath the "calm surface" of everyday life. The watering can and the title could thus represent an attempt to nurture the inner self (the "plants" of the self) even when threatening forces are present. The work illuminates the tension between external façade, internal struggles, and the everyday actions that sustain life.
