Thoughts

At times we shape the world, at other times the world shapes us. At times, too, it doesn't happen at all. Outer and inner world, what is outside and what is inside? Sometimes there is a quiet colloquy and sometimes a violent clash of opposites and sometimes nothing.

Becoming and passing away, cause and effect - these are the subject of the art; the medium is that intense relationship between human being and nature. Lifeless nature and the loss of vitality, the urge towards renewal and the capacity for living symbolize what life and human existence are about. Working with ashes and quasi-natural materials is an image expressing the everlasting cycle of becoming and passing away, and the transience of time, light and darkness.
