The original painting was made on a large canvas.
"Medley: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", normally also called "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", "The Age of Aquarius" or "Let the Sunshine In", is a medley of two songs from the 1967 musical Hair. The lyrics were written by James Rado and Gerome Ragni, while Galt MacDermot wrote the music.
Children inspire me. Their ability to transcend any difficult situation is amazing. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed-out city. Playing football in the most miserable neighbor hoods. They are always looking for the light. They save the future that our generations really messed up and don't even blame us for it. If only we could keep the child in ourselves a bit more, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Art can help us find our childlike innocence again

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces.
db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
