In my work „Scars on my Inner Landscape“ I investigated how mental-emotional injuries affect our bodies. Emotional injuries do not visualize themselves in places, such as injuries from knife wounds, but they are stored by our body memory. What might be the inner place where they manifest? Could the scars of experienced incidents also show up on an organ? Do they form an internal scar landscape? And do these scars look similar to those on our outer skin? I was particularly interested in depicting the painful process of an injury, which transforms from a freshly injured situation into a scarred, solid, perhaps hardened state, and which thus seeks its place as a spatial claim in a body. My pictures are always about space. The cluster of entities in the all-black collages float in a dark universal space without reference to above and below. From their interconnections and linkages that consist of representational parts, forms arise. These formations are rather surreal, something that does not exist in this constellation in our reality. An intermediate sphere emerges, which is representational and ab- stractly iridescent, opening up perceptual possibilities. In our dreams we move completely free - free from logic of the real world. Here, things can come together to create something completely different, even beyond the formal logic that we are accustomed to every day.

My works are therefore not images of my dream worlds. I do not illustrate. Rather, I try to trace the pipe dreams that are the result of human experiences and thoughts and that form themselves into ever new castles in the air, which can sometimes lead to astonishing conclusions. Insights from the in-between, from the imaging interconnectedness of the unconscious and the conscious, of body, soul and spirit.
