About me

My artistic practice is guided by the search for a liminal space between fiction and reality – for what may exist beyond human perception and how it might take form.

Through installation and sculpture, I construct speculative environments in which
human and non-human perspectives intersect, enabling alternative conceptions of
temporality, corporeality, and interconnectedness to be examined.

In doing so, I create emotional spaces that engender distinct experiential states.
Ecofeminist theory provides a central conceptual framework for my work.
It critically examines hierarchical structures and anthropocentric paradigms,
while articulating models of coexistence grounded in vulnerability, empathy, and reciprocal interdependence.

Literature and film function as conceptual and imaginative frameworks for exploring speculative ecologies and hybrid modes of existence, which I translate into spatial, atmospheric configurations. Sand holds a defining role within this material language, signifying sedimented time, instability, and openness. Through these constellations, hybrid territories emerge, in which perception operates relationally and the boundaries between body, environment, and imagination are continuously redefined.

I live and work in Düsseldorf, Germany.
