Everything is alive. All matter consists of vibrating energy forming atoms, molecules, cells and bodies. Seemingly solid structures observed over centuries turn out to be morphing, living and breathing entities: Forests turn out to be the lungs of the planet. Oceans rise and fall like the chest of a sleeping giant. Sand gets carried by …
They all try to be famous like the cover of a magazine: Popular, but flat and shallow. If i would want to be famous, i’d want to be famous like air is famous. It is invisible but still embracing you from every side. You can‘t quite grasp it, but you watch it in the breath …
Sounds leaving my lips, entering your ears and being transformed into meaning. The smell of rain in august, the vibrant colors of the city at dawn, the taste of peach and ice cream. The scent of sweat and cheap parfume in our favorite nightclub. His messy hair and iconic music in rented cars. The touch …

Feel the Joy of missing out… I did and it was awesome. I was missing out on a lot lately. And we all know about the fear of missing out: On deliciously looking meals, wild parties and pretty people appearing constantly in our instagram feeds – called FOMO. Now let me tell you about JOMO …
I take my 4-year-old nephew very serious, when he tells me about monsters and dragons. His world is as real as mine. We both are merely believers for a while. I am that „delusional guy“. I am that annoying friend that will explain stuff in terms like „vibration“ and „energy“. And yes: I am talking …
What i love about collage work is the creation of a new context with seemingly finished pieces. It‘s like being born into a world of preexisting games, that now you are expected to play. And then you decide to subvert the game. You take turns nobody expected, not even you did. You cut through the …
