This book explores the enduring legacy of Hilma af Klint through the lens of contemporary artistic interpretation. The volume takes Hilma af Klint's early abstract paintings and her extensive notebooks as a foundation, specifically referencing 'A Work on Flowers, Mosses and Lichen.' Nine contemporary artists were commissioned to create responses to af Klint's pioneering work and her unique spiritual imagery, which sought to illuminate different dimensions of existence. Af Klint's own wishes for her art to be discovered decades after her passing add a layer of historical significance to these modern dialogues.

This collection presents a curated dialogue between a foundational figure in abstract art and contemporary practitioners. The structure, focusing on responses to specific works and the artist's broader legacy, suggests an academic or art-historical approach. The inclusion of nine distinct artistic viewpoints indicates a broad scope for interpreting af Klint's influence and the continued relevance of her spiritual and abstract explorations.
