"My sources of inspiration are emotional images from various sources such as books, newspapers, and social media. 
From these, stories with subtle messages are created, which are then conveyed to the viewer in this way but leave room for interpretation. 
The visual representations go beyond the everyday perception; familiar thought patterns are broken, new perspectives are opened up. 
Therefore, my images are also to be understood in the tension between objectivity and abstraction. 

Regarding the hydrant and motorcycle images:
These works show various representations both in their overall form (hydrants) and as details (hydrants and motorcycles), it allows an idea of the complete object
and its functionality. Especially the detailed views show the objects with all their signs of use, which time, humans, and weather have left behind."
