Centrifugal Silence
She moves faster than memory,
hair cutting the air like a question left unanswered.
The body dissolves into motion,
identity slipping between frames—
not lost, only unpinned.
What remains is not a figure,
but a trace:
the quiet force of becoming,
the moment when the self lets go
and speed turns into freedom.
Mensch und Objekt / Human and object
Im Zentrum der Aufnahme steht eine nackte Frau neben einem einzelnen Stuhl.
Der Stuhl dient als einziges Objekt im Bild und dient als Stütze und Bezugspunkt. Die Hand der Frau ruht auf der Stuhllehne, während ihr Körper frei im Raum steht.
Die Wiesenfläche und der angrenzende Wald schaffen eine ruhige, reduzierte Bildatmosphäre.
At the center of the photograph stands a naked woman next to a solitary chair.
The chair is the only object in the image, serving as a support and point of reference. The woman's hand rests on the chair back, while her body stands freely in space.
The meadow and the adjacent forest create a tranquil, minimalist atmosphere.
A Wing Made of Disappearance
„A Wing Made of Disappearance“ is part of a long term project. The series “Featherest” explores moments of dissolution, transition, and the shifting boundaries of identity. The figure within the work does not function as a portrait but as a surface for projection—an entity suspended between visibility and disappearance. It is less a photo of something than a photo about something: an image that resists depiction in favor of evocation.
Through controlled motion, blurred contours, and the presence of dark, feather-like structures, the series creates a visual language of transformation. These forms operate simultaneously as shield, veil, and catalyst, suggesting both protection and metamorphosis. The body becomes an impression rather than an object—an emotional resonance rather than a fixed shape.
Light fractures the form; shadow gathers around it. In this collision of atmosphere and gesture, photography moves toward painting, toward something more fluid and uncertain. The work dwells in the in-between: the moment where identity becomes mutable, where the self is revealed not through clarity but through its unraveling.
“Featherest” invites the viewer into this threshold space—a place where the image does not explain but suggests, where interpretation becomes an act of intimacy, and where the unseen becomes momentarily perceptible.

Musa Erato II.: Managing her Flamingo
Nach Jahren des Aufnehmens, Ablegens und Auflösens nähert sich dieses Langzeitprojekt seinem Abschluss. Anfang 2026 erscheint der Bildband „Managing her Flamingo“ – das finale Kapitel.Auf dem Cover: eine einzelne Feder, die bleibt, während der Vogel längst weitergezogen ist.
Ein letztes Bild. Ein Finale, das alles zusammenführt.
Ein Buch als Schlusspunkt – und vielleicht als Öffnung zugleich. Mehr bald. 🪶🦩
When touch becomes light
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.
