Manuel Stehli's Untitled (Large Fortress II) (2021) is a large-scale landscape of a rampart in ruins, reduced to its essential lines and volumes and rendered in thin, almost transparent layers of pale fleshy tones. 

The fortress is a defense mechanism, its presence implies an outside threat, that in turn engenders a sense of intimacy and kinship amongst those circumscribed within its walls.
