Writing and forms always form a symbiosis with the aim of representing the inexpressible with pictorial means and bringing it to life. The works have no beginning and no end. Rather, they are to be understood as a spatially and temporally coherent continuum that combines references to what has been and what is happening, such as antiquity and historical events, with the supratemporal, such as love and existence, proximity and space, resulting in instantaneous, seismographic traces.
