Abstract

These works are conceived through the lens and grounded in subjects of deep personal resonance: a favorite lake, a cherished toy, the Berlin Wall, a beloved picture, and a family vacation site. Through processes of abstraction, they move beyond representation into the realm of memory, transforming the recognizable into fields of color, texture, and gesture.

What endures is not the literal object, but the affective register it carries: the stillness of water, the joy of play, the gravity of history, the warmth of remembrance, the freedom of exploration. By abstracting the intimate and the everyday, these images extend beyond private significance, creating a visual language that allows viewers to inscribe their own experiences within the blur and shimmer of form. Each image becomes a fragment of memory and attachment, rooted in what matters most yet transformed into something universal.
