For me, being human means showing people in their authenticity, just as they live and go their own way. I am inspired by their individuality: the courage to realise a dream, the way they deal with memory and transience, the conscious arrival at oneself, in harmony with nature or in withdrawal from a loud world.
My portraits tell of lived life. Of freedom and growth. Of fragility and inner strength. They invite us to look more closely – behind façades, behind age, behind roles.
For me, being human means living authentically, looking forward and staying open to the new. It means growing in togetherness and experiencing connectedness. Being human is freedom, hope and community – not perfection, but authenticity.
Ich lebe meinen Traum (I live my dream) shows a Harley rider who lives for his passion. Here, being human stands for freedom, self-realisation and identity.
Wenn die Erinnerung spielt (when memory plays) shows an elderly woman in a wheelchair playing with a doll. The picture speaks of the cycle of life and the fragility of memory – and of how being human remains, even as memories slowly fade.
Angekommen (arrived) tells of an existence that no longer has to fight to be seen. It radiates a quiet dignity. In a world that is loud and constantly demands movement, this picture stands for the opposite: for acceptance, for the sense that it is enough, for the awareness that fulfilment lies not without but within. In harmony with nature and with themselves, this person has found their peace.
