This series contents all kinds of objects of everyday that were found on the streets and in the bins. They were transformed to artobjects, I added wire, wood or styrofoam, all materials that were packaging waste.
On the one hand, it is about the human being in the world, so how it relates itself through its behavior to the world. On the other hand, it is about the world in the human being, so how the drained world affects people.This work deals with both aspects and ultimately comes to the same conclusion: the balance is disturbed and this leads to the many small outbreaks that shake people and the world and eventually lead to the big bang and the destruction of our planet and so to humanity itself. This series comprises various everyday objects and finds. Those who have already fallen victim to the explosion, visualized by red wood or styrofoamballs. The ones from which it oozes out and show the imbalance of people that arises because of their repressing behavior.
The objects are part of the video: PleaseMindThePossibleDanger, in which we will discover the unknown, never knowing what comes next, is it good or bad, will we survive or not?

Please Mind The Possible Danger

The series “Detached” from 2019 deals with the feeling of being completely detached from the world and people. It examines the soul pieces individually, which I call "Seelenstücke". They were drawn on old found book pages that appear as loose and meaningless without a book as the soul pieces without a soul. Strings and a frame connect them, like a spider web holds loose leaves flying by. Who knows for how ling?

Losgelöst/Detached

This series of watercolors deals with the feeling of disappearing. Disappear in your own feelings and in a world that often feels too much. Red as the color of pain and churning emotions in contrast to white and gray, expressing innocence, but also invisibility. In a world like ours, hasty and superficial and with the motto of: better, more, fast it is very difficult to stop, to pause, to look around, to reflect and feel yourself, one get lost very easily.

Disapearing

The red phase includes various series of paintings, watercolors
and objects that have been created since 2015 on the subject of
"The Burning of the Soul". The vibrant colours and textured
surfaces of the paintings are an expression of this burning. Red
as the color of pain, flaming and burning.
Lost property and various materials are a metaphor for the traces
left by a burning soul: open wounds, rosy flesh, purulent crusts,
scarred tissue.
Shards, pieces of wood and styrofoam symbolize the soul pieces
that scatter our existence beyond existence and make it difficult
to feel as an entity.
This series of paintings deals with the piercing, stabbing pain
and the wounds that re-open when the pain rages through mind. It
leaves gaping holes, sharp-edged splinters, purulent injuries,
wounds that never heal and let the soul shatter even further. Some
canvases are painted on both sides and should be perceived as
sculptural works. Both sides must be considered as one entity,
reflecting that what is visible on the surface may not always
reveal what lies beneath.
