What traces does life leave behind? How does our history characterize us?  What do we hide without saying a word and yet the body speaks volumes about our experiences:

Traces of anger, traces of silence, traces of hope and compassion... One look is enough and we see how the other person is feeling. Are we really seeing it?  Or do we only see a section?

Animal soul - animal sculptures 2024/2025

In the silent encounter between human and animal, a connection arises that transcends words, born from the gentle, wild eyes. The animal is intuitive, emotional, and honest. In this encounter, we are invited to reconnect with our own instincts , to understand life with our bodies, rather than our minds.

Accepting the unpredictable can foster trust – leading to a connection between wordless worlds.
The silent presence of an animal teaches us that true understanding can occur in our interactions when everyone recognizes that what they see is only a fragment. When we connect with our own instinctual nature, we can experience how every being is part of the greater whole.

the birds know - 2022/2023

More and more bird species are threatened with extinction.They are threatened not only by industrialized agriculture, but above all by climate change. Bird populations are currently declining. Insect and habitat availability is becoming scarcer. The increasing number of winterers and flexible species that return to their breeding grounds earlier are crowding other birds out of their territories... Even as sea levels continue to rise,  the coasts will become less habitable for birds. There are fewer resting places on their journey... the birds' space is shrinking. That's why I'm currently occupied with the bird from a bird's eye view. I want to give it a space. It looks at us people questioningly. How do we answer it?

A bird. For me it is a symbol of freedom and longing. Birds live in our immediate vicinity, they sleep on our roofs, visit us at our windows and with their chirping remind us to look up at the sky more often. They are masters of navigation and storm-proof nest building. They probably arouse my wanderlust, because deep down we humans are also normads. We are not really sedentary, we are also drawn to vacation, the south, the distance.
