The photo of a withering dahlia tells in reference to Friedrich Hölderlin's essay "Das Werden im Vergehen" (Becoming in Dissolution) about the magic of the moment, where simultaneously demise and new beginning are expressions of a living whole.

After training in photography and an internship at Bayerischer Rundfunk, I worked for several years as a camera assistant. Over time, my visual language shifted toward abstraction. My work begins with reality and explores what can emerge when subject, perception, and camera interact. I work with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and developed my own technique, Remodel by Camera Movement (RCM), the basis of my Photographic Lyrical Abstraction. In my Emergographies, everyday things can develop an identity of their own. Together, they form my Photographic Wonder Room.
