“… durch alle Wesen reicht der eine Raum: Weltinnenraum” (Rainer Maria Rilke)

The daily explosion of images, the abundance of input and possibilities, makes it difficult to grasp both the world outside and one’s own life. When everything seems complex and overwhelmingly multitudinous, what does it mean to turn the gaze inward? To the inner space of the world, which connects all beings, as Rilke says.
This work emerges from meditation, from inner observation, as a response to the overwhelming stream of external stimuli. It is the result of a process of turning inward, of reducing, of letting go.
The images feel intimate, yet they are not purely personal. As if they arise from a collective reservoir of invisible archetypes, from a shared world, from which something always surfaces that speaks to me in that moment. It is like looking at the inner life of the world.
In the drawings and paintings, this leads to forms that are closely related yet continuously transforming. The often-repeating, thread-like lines navigate between a core or condensation and forms that radiate outward. They represent diverse, intuitive layers of meaning that constantly shift, alluding to forms of (mental) energy, to fragile impermanence, to life that continuously emerges anew from other life. Like a mantra of reconnecting again and again, both outward and inward.
