PLANTS – ENIGMATIC FOLIAGE
Expeditions through the realms of organic and plant life
AQUATIC GALAXY – Padang Bai, Bali, Indonesia, 2021
In this shallow world, revealed,
a universe.
Where algae turns into stardust and sea anemones bloom like celestial nebulae.
Tiny barnacles scatter like diamond dust across this underwater galaxy.
A new discovery, a new beginning, at this place I passed.
It secluded beauty held me —
and I returned,
to linger for a while.
SECRET GARDEN – Mini-Series, Olpe, Germany, 2020
We reduce ourselves to the essentials.
When was the last time we were free? Free from everything redundant?
Are we not consumed by the search for this pure, unadulterated form of being?
PIROUETTE – Olpe, Germany, 2020
In the secret garden, a wondrous movement. Focused, centred.
The moment of perfect balance between control and letting go.
It is the form of eternity, and I marvel.
How do I find myself?
ON THE JUMP – Olpe, Germany, 2020
Beneath her, a carpet of nature and a moment of weightlessness.
She may be alone, but she is not. We share the moment, and I am named after her.
It is me. Yet never have I danced like this before.
THE VOID – Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia, 2019
Spellbound, I descend into the darkness, into a flowing geological formation that welcomes me.
The blackness does not consume me; it is the pure form of the origin, enveloped in clear white.
How do I find the patience to discover all this?
I wait.
Everything flows; nothing is static; everything is in flux.
I go with it.
I go along, flickering between the shadows.
What at first appeared to be a bottomless hole is now something else.
The image stands still, but I – I do not.
INEXTRICABLE – Dresden, Germany, 2018
Getting lost in the details.
A shadow, a leading curve.
I slowly disappear into this organic structure.
I see comfort in that. In its confused complexity and its seemingly endless bewilderment.
Do you know Ouroboros?
Every line curl:
a labyrinth of paths wrapping around me.
I search for the next path and place a step into a new future.
Let yourself be swayed by my nature worlds and abstract surface designs.
