About

Searching for hidden poetic moments
"My artistic work oscillates within the tension between control and chance, exploring a systemic aesthetic that lies between human intention and machine repetition. The boundaries between creative randomness and algorithmic decision-making blur, creating a symbiotic relationship in which the machine is not only a tool but more of a creative partner. The machine‘s output is often transfered into analog techniques, uniting the digital origins with a physical, handcrafted presence and gives them a tangible, emotional depth.

In many of my works, this process of transition becomes visible, inviting the viewer to interpret and question the internal rules and logics of the system. Through the interplay of chance and control, of machine output and human craftsmanship, my works reflect on the complexity of systems and the dynamic tension between human and machine."
