The Italian word torso generally means something unfinished. But it also stands for cabbage stalk. These details of red cabbage leaf structures remind me of torsos.

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.
