LandArt

The overgrown tree, the clusters of reeds at the edge of the lake, a scattered group of spruces, pebbles strewn in a riverbed—most often, it is the landscape and its elements themselves that strike a chord within me, setting off a creative process. Sometimes, it is also the old stories that drift around the mountains, gurgle in the streams, and find their way into me and my work.
My art is only a temporary guest in the spirit of the surroundings, a gift that nature reclaims whenever it pleases.

Paper Art

The visual language of Land Art installations is also reflected in my paper art, which I have been deeply engaged with since 2021. These works involve hand-drawn designs that are cut from sturdy paper or cardboard using a fine laser beam. The resulting multi-layered "mini-sculptures" are mounted to float within object frames, where they create a unique fascination through their intricate design and the interplay of light and shadow.
