    ARTIST STATEMENT (TRILOGY FORMAT)

    This triptych of texts — written as stream-of-consciousness meditations — forms the emotional and conceptual framework of my artistic practice.




    „Digging and Longing“

    I want much. I want it all. At the same time, I don’t need much. I feel very receptive. Open to depth. Brave enough to dig deep. Tap deep into my soul. Craving for wholesomeness. Looking for connection. Intuitive intimacy. Poetic resonance. Global acceptance. Spiritual. Trans-Generational. Trans-Genderish. Trans-Formative. Trans-Disciplinary. Wholesome and deep. Deeper Underground. Deep within the sea of our souls. We connect. We adjust. We adapt. We transform ourselves through each other and within each of our Selves. Love to not fear rejection. Love to reestablish connection. Connect our minds. Our souls. Our hearts. Our bodies. To liberate the New and let go the Old. Ways and perspectives. We are detectives. Detecting our true Selves. Detecting the core and its purpose. Our purpose. Reveal our dreams, hopes, fantasies and let go these fears. Let go of these false experiences of our past tenses. Of former times. 

    Connect our souls. Contact our goals. Find new ways. In all of the days. In the everyday mode. This seems to be the code. The code to unlock. The code to unblock. To unlimited skies. Fly birds, fly. Fly high and far. May you reach your goals and be a star. Continue to thrive and stay the hell so amazingly alive. 







    „Empower the Visual“

    Don’t fear to want it all. Let go of the feeling of being small. Return to your original voice. Don’t hold back, there’s no other choice. Just stay focused and keep going. The new feelings will start showing. The new You will start growing. Deeper and higher and the same time. Just be the tree, it’s fine. Big but humble. No more time to stumble. 







    „Go! Go and Create“

    Feeling safe helps you become brave. The bravest version of your own Self. The greatest version of your true Self. We go. We grow. We grow together. Better and better. We become. We start to run. Towards each other. Not to even bother. Without hesitation. Right? We’re slow and fast at the same time. We’re brave and vast, ready to shine. Together we grow. Together we flow. Indeed. For sake’s sanity. What kinda humans are we? Rising. Shining. Stop whining. Glittering. Vibrating. In our skin. Alive. Anewed. Appointed. Sheer pure. Pure pleasure. Pure joy. Purely rich. In so many ways. For all of the days.
