Between shadow and breath, she folds into herself — a constellation of skin, bone, and memory. The feathers are not costume, but echo: what remains when touch becomes light.

Alter-Ego (Behind the Bunny Mask)
In the fall of 2023 I started this project. At first it was just because we needed something anonymous and somewhat Halloween themed.
During that first shoot I saw how she got into character. Transporting into this alter-ego character. With a little bit of anonymity from the mask there was suddenly so much freedom.
Then in 2024 I brought the idea to 5 more models and friends. We changed the settings and let them each bring their own alter-ego character to the woman behind the mask.
Now it's Halloween 2025 AND 4 more have added to their Alter Ego to the project.
Where is it going? First, it's certainly something that transcends a holiday!
Maybe it's a book, magazine, or prints…I'm not sure! But I know its rewarding to do something long term and also leaving flexibility to see where it leads you. It's so much better than "insta" "content".
Cartography of Light
Mirror of Quiet Fire
Parkhaus / Parking garage
Leerer Rhythmus
Sie tritt in das stille Parkhaus, der Boden glüht vom Sonnenlicht.
Der Anzug über ihre Schultern – doch innen brennt etwas, das kein Reißverschluss verschließt. Unter dem Sakko scheinen Wärme und Kälte zu kämpfen, als würde der Alltag ihr zu eng werden.
Auf dem Boden der Koffer, schwer von ungesagten Worten, von Wegen, die sie gehen könnte, wenn sich die Türen wieder öffnen.
Kein Auto fährt, kein Echo hallt – nur der Schritt, ein gleichmäßiger Takt.
Sie hält inne, blickt durch die Helligkeit auf die Linien und Säulen des Parkhauses, als könnte dort der Horizont beginnen.
Ein letzter Blick zurück, ein leises Zögern, und mit dem ersten Seufzer tritt sie in das Licht der kommenden Stunde – bereit, die Welt außerhalb der Parkgarage zu betreten, mit dem Gewicht der Entscheidung im Gepäck.
Empty Rhythm
She steps into the quiet parking garage, the floor glowing with sunlight.
The suit is over her shoulders—but inside, something burns, unzipped. Beneath her jacket, heat and cold seem to be battling, as if everyday life were becoming too confining for her.
At the bottom of the suitcases, heavy with unsaid words, with paths she could take when the doors open again.
No car is moving, no echo reverberates—only footsteps, a steady rhythm.
She pauses, gazes through the brightness at the lines and pillars of the parking garage, as if the horizon could begin there.
One last glance back, a slight hesitation, and with the first sigh, she steps into the light of the coming hour—ready to enter the world outside the parking garage, carrying the weight of decision with her.

Feathers grow like night from the shoulders
