"Under this mask, another mask. I will never be finished removing all these faces," - Claude Cahun.

I think the medium of collage is very close to life: a composition of various fragments, one's own and collective memories, whereby especially in the digital age it is blurred which fragments are real and which are manipulated.
Central to my work with the medium of collage is to address the Janus-facedness / ambivalence of our lives, the beautiful and at the same time absurd and grotesque faces of mankind. And how do we put inner and outer images into new contexts again and again? I see my work as a search for its own form of surrealism, a means to question reality, from the flood of images and the various levels of the digital age to search for a deeper understanding of what makes the human being.
