The Peace sign and the word Fragile are part of a universal visual language that many artists have employed. For years, the Fragile sticker has been inseparable from the art market – a sign of vulnerability, of the delicate balance between protection and exposure. Stefan Strumbel, too, has long worked with this vocabulary, with bubble wrap becoming a metaphor for both security and the fragility of human existence.

In collaboration with Ruttkowski;68 and Keinemusik, this motif now takes on new intensity: Fragile Neon merges with the Peace Cloud created by Keinemusik, carefully encased in bubble wrap. An image that embodies protection and warning, hope and vulnerability at once. The signal color underscores the work like an alarm – impossible to ignore in times of political conflict and escalating war.

The Peace Cloud by Keinemusik becomes a reminder of the fragility of the moment, of the sensitivity of those who live art, music, and subculture as a shared language – for humanity, for vulnerability. In a world where peace can no longer be taken for granted, it recalls what culture can achieve: it connects, it speaks, it challenges.

Fragile is a quiet call to cherish the present – art and music as a counterpoint to the coldness of world affairs.

The work is presented as a limited silkscreen on paper – hand-signed and numbered by Stefan Strumbel.
Each sheet is a unique piece, just as every life is a human sculpture: singular, unrepeatable, and fragile.
A symbol legible across the world – understood without words.
