“The essence of my work is characterized by a deep connection to all living things and the examination of transience.”
The series ‘Once upon a time…’ describes a continuous story that once began in nature and, in the ongoing process, found further places where it could be realized.
My works are characterised by the condensation of the chosen material, by new beginnings and upheavals, and their appearance is constantly changing. For the incidence of light is the essential factor here.
The interplay between nature and mankind, change and transience, tradition and new perspectives – these aspects of life have been on my mind since my early youth. They constantly lead me back to the question: What will remain? Of me? Of us?
