I create photographs, paintings, drawings and work with text. Through careful observation during the seasons I explore the processes of change in nature. I look for possibilities to reconnect with nature to increase awareness and motivation to protect her. I am interested in the influence of art on our relationship with our environment and on our perspectives on the natural world. For my photographs I choose from my collection of nature finds, which I capture in various constellations indoors, outdoors or on the light table. During my walks outside I capture parts of nature working with camera movement, soft focus techniques and macro lenses. All these techniques serve to create new impressionistic and abstract worlds. Japanese aesthetic concepts like the white space, minimalism, wabi sabi, ikebana and haiku fascinate me and inspire my compositions, because I think they describe on the one hand principles in nature perfectly well and on the other hand challenge our perception habits.
