A Visual Journey Through Broken Glass
From shards of glass to swirling shapes, each photograph captures the mesmerizing beauty of broken glass and the kaleidoscopic patterns it can create. Join me on a journey of exploration as we delve into the depths of translucent surfaces and discover the captivating allure of reflective prisms and finely cut pieces.
LIQUIDIZE – Dresden, Germany 2024
A vertical fracture. Or is it?
It’s a frozen bolt of lightning holding the liquid chaos together.
A thread of hope.
The cold, deep waves capture me. Melancholy holds me tight as the depths of grief cry over her frozen past.
I form a kinship with water. I breath in.
I follow the flow. Breath is life.
It’s warm, but it feels distant.
Grasping the light, I embrace my newfound fluidity.
We form a symbiosis and live with the ancient memory of its molten origin.
A BREWING STORM – Bielefeld, Germany 2020
This is the moment just before everything unravels.
When the world holds its breath, and I can feel it, deep in my chest:
The storm is coming.
I can’t hear the thunder yet.
But it’s there. Coiled inside me like a spiral of glass, wound tight and trembling,
as if the pressure of everything I’ve been holding in might finally shatter me open.
A thousand thoughts swirling with no centre, no calm eye to step into.
Just motion.
Just buildup.
The weight of it is too much.
The world spins too, doesn’t it?
Politics. Grief. Climate. Conflict.
So many voices shouting at once, inside and out.
And I try to hold it all —
my own life, my own pain alongside the enormity of everything else.
No wonder I feel torn in every direction.
No wonder I can barely think without fracturing.
This is the moment before collapse.
But it’s also the moment where I choose to pause —
to make room for everything that’s coming,
without letting it break me.
Not yet.
Melancholia Of The Soul – 2019
About the Series:
Who among us can define what a soul is or what it might look like? Throughout the ages we have found a multitude of words to interpret and describe. Pure and radiant as the rays of the sun. Crystal clear, its purity penetrates even the darkest of our thoughts. Yet in times of trouble, fear, burden and sorrow, it can become clouded. Melancholy surrounds us like a veil. Problems can confuse us. We can come into conflict, even with ourselves. Tensions can seem to be tearing us apart. But no matter how bleak our problems or our future may be, with our problems or our future, with faith, will and unity, we will find a way to get out of our own melancholy and let our soul shine again. In harmony.

INTERDIMENSIONAL REFRACTION – Löbau, Germany, 2018
A whisper from in-between: countless mirror worlds splitting inside my mind.
Each fragment contains a different thought.
Like visions from other variants of myself.
I feel each surface in my mind reflects a different connection.
Tiny knotted points and gateways to other dimensions.
I know I’m fracturing myself trying to find my way in this labyrinth.
Perhaps this fractured complexity is the human condition.
Perhaps we all shimmer and splinter in ways we cannot grasp.
Maybe there is a way to bring order to my tangled mind.
Then again, maybe I just don‘t mind.
Maybe this is simply my nature?
And maybe that‘s okay.
Dive into my nature photography and abstract surface designs.
