Like a tidal wave, an avalanche that does not cause any noise, it rolls through fantasies and swallows up everything it encounters on its way - all life, all colour, every scent, every sound and every feeling.
What is lost to nothing disappears as if it never existed. If the longed-for saviour does not arrive quickly, there will be no trace of fantasy or the slightest memory.
(Michael Ende, The Neverending Story)

This quote applies today more than ever. I interpret "the nothing" as the tech industry sucking up our imagination, society getting sucked into their phones and losing our ability to create our own entertainment. We don't read books anymore, we don't listen to vinyl anymore, and instead of playing board games, we play on our devices. Our brains are changing.

I am an interdisciplinary artist born in Bavaria, Germany. Following archeology and literature studies in Berlin, I relocated to Bundjalung country in 2017. This move allowed me to immerse myself in the surfing community where I discovered a deep connection to the ocean and started exploring the relationship between humans and their environment. The energy of the sea is an unwavering wellspring of inspiration, fueling my passion for painting. By integrating meditation practices and automatic creation techniques, I transmute my emotional states and past experiences onto the canvas to evoke a profound sense of freedom and tranquillity within the hearts of those who view my work.
