Statement:
 
There Are No Clean Feelings
Ambivalence is Hope
​
It is my goal as an artist to expose uncertainty and to reveal faith.
I am driven by the idea of making contradictions of human existence more tangible and to reveal its inherent power.
Thus, I focus on an aesthetic that is disruptive and poetic, inconvenient and comforting.
​
My vision is to inspire people to embrace the awkwardness of human nature and value the resulting feeling of inconsistency.
In other words: Experience pleasurable discomfort.

About:

​

I work with drawing, text and the spoken word (performance-lecture). My focus is on the topics ambivalence and contradiction of human emotions and actions. I believe in an insoluble yet nourishing nature-culture conflict in which human and animal traits are in a constant fire of attraction, rejection and alienation. An assumption that, in a digital world, raises questions of roots (nature, body, lust) and reorientation (culture, digitalization, satisfaction).

​

In all of my creative work, I experiment with questions of how to navigate beyond the comfort zone and how to foster a mindset that is shaped by maintaining security within the insecurity.
