The artwork, named “Back To Nature,” was created by Jacek Yerka in 1983 in Poland and belongs to the Surrealism art movement. It is categorized within the interior genre.
The artwork depicts a bathroom interior infused with surreal elements. The walls and floor tiles are predominantly drab and grey, while the fixtures, such as the urinal, toilet, and bathtub, contain natural elements. The toilet is filled with green water, resembling a miniature pond with lily pads. The bathtub features lily pads floating on its surface, signifying a merge between a typical bathroom and a pond ecosystem. Amidst the surreal aquatic features, an antiquated typewriter is mounted and integrated into the overwhelming network of pipes and ducts overhead, enveloped by a haze of steam or mist that fills the upper portions of the room. The composition evokes an unusual, dreamlike ambiance of nature reclaiming a mechanical and sterile environment.
