Essential aspects of my work are the urban and social structures, the density and complexity of a city, the process of constant change, and the resulting upheavals and wounds in a city. During my work stays, I develop thematic cycles based on these aspects, which correspond to the specifics of the respective urban structure. The way I work is a process of collecting, choosing, reacting and accentuating.

»It is not the place itself that arouses my interest, but the atmospheric peculiarity that I can feel in all its complexity.«
