Her works are about the search for an inner experience of time, where memories are made
experienceable in the shape of fixation and transformation. She strives for a fusion of past and
present , which creates a dynamic and timeless dimension. The transience, the cycle of human
existence – life, death and rebirth – plays an important role in this; this transforms our reality and
strengthens our human consciousness. In her art she wants to stimulate people’s imagination and
sensory experiences in which the traces of the past are revived in the present, which remains
anchored in her memory and thus enriches her personal history. In this way she wants to inspire
people to make an inner journey by really feeling and discovering for themselves what the treasury
of their existence is.
