series 'shanghai spring22'
A big city in lockdown, endless days of waiting, one like the other...
The repetition and uniformity of the image's content represents these long days, a situation that has troubled me. The marks could stand for these lockdown days, but also for windows in a skyscraper facade, or strokes that a prisoner makes on his cell wall in order not to get lost in the flow of time.
I have consciously held back in the color scheme and the materials to symbolize the renunciation and loss of the people.
series 'winter clarity'
This was my first winter in New Jersey and it seemed to be an unusually tough and snowy one. For many weeks the ground was covered with snow, hiding what laid underneath. Occassionaly the surface was interrupted by little stems and grasses. This white blanket generated a tranquil landscape, beautiful and peaceful but maybe a little bit deceiving. It went well with the quiet pandemic winter.
