mixed media installation.

Elaborated on motifs like disconnection, identity and ambiguity, the project 
'transition is a state of mind' is exploring the demons living in us and 
the fear over ones own absurdity. Blurring the limitations between physical 
reality and imagination, the illustrations appear like surreal visualizations 
of our internal architecture. Engaging subjects such as psychological tests, in 
which the viewer´s perception of inkblots is recorded and analyzed in order to 
detect personality characteristics and emotional functioning, or the referencing
of anatomical figures and reminiscence of magnetic resonance imaging, they are 
translated and arranged into a new conceptual context inviting the viewer to an 
individual perception.

'Stereotype wanted dead or alive' is an illustration series exploring various 
aspects of human identity; the vision of self perception, the shape of personality 
characteristics and the search of identity against external influences.

The series ’do you like blue' reflects an experimental search exploring 
the correlation between proportion, density of colour and texture and individual 
perception. Building up layer by layer creating blurred textures and shapes, the 
multi-layered surfaces are influenced by organic and man-made structures conveying 
an element of physical movement and three-dimensionaltiy while striking the balance 
between ambiguity and identification.
