"At the beginning there is the curiosity
and fascination about how the appearance of things changes depending
on its relations. My works mirror the astonishment’s,
contradictions and irritations caused by this phenomenon. I see my life running on and in a
multitude of platforms and frames which cross and inform each other.
Privacy, intimacies, fears, hopes,trivialities and embarrassments
are all woven into my work. Inspired to work with a minimum of
materials, mainly ordinary and simple things related to the
respective site or idea, my art stems from a curiosity and fascination about
how things function together in a variety of different possible
connections, how they appear unfolding a broadness of possible
interpretations. The continuous transformation and
alteration of perception touches my emotional state, and it changes
my beliefs steadily and constantly. There seems to be no absolute. Instead
there exists a perpetual inconstancy."
