A thundercloud, towering in the sky, frozen in black stone. A pause within the storm, a state of uncertainty. Cloud as a stairway to the sky. The destination remains open, universal. Material: Belgian Blue limestone Dimensions: approx. 43 × 50 × 100 cm Weight: approx. 280 kg
COVER opens a metaphorical connection between the material and the metaphysical. The veiled marble body stands for transience, concealment and possible revelation. The enduring stone in its resting form refers to eternity, the ephemeral, and the relationship between body and mind. The wax jacket on the…
TARE is an allegory of the pursuit of balance – between hope and collapse, lightness and heaviness. A child’s swimming armband, a symbol of safety and buoyancy, has been cast in heavy lead. The contrast between form and material creates tension: what was meant to carry now threatens to…
The need for security is fundamental – but does it really exist? Is it an illusion to believe that insurance and money provide true security? A guarantee? Security is closely linked to human fear and vulnerability and opens up a wide field for philosophical reflection…

On a tous besoin de rêver (Everyone has the need to dream) An inflatable armchair made of marble floats in an oval, round pool of water. The “plastic” chair sits enthroned in a large puddle. In the pool in front of the throne lies a stepping stone, slightly below the water surface, intended to make climbing the throne easier. At the edge of the basin stands a stainless-steel tap that serves as a water source…
Ein kollektiver Stillstand oder persönliche Blockaden, widerspiegelt dieser Koffer. Ein Zustand des Wollens, aber nicht Könnens. Ein konstruktiver Flow, der gestoppt wird. Ein versteinerter Moment. Die Rollkoffer sind gepackt, um loszugehen und um vorwärtszukommen. Aber leider geht es nicht… Eine…
