Collection: Collection "The Diversity of the Black Forest"

To this day, the Black Forest is strongly characterized by traditions, fixed images, and unique stories. Much of it seems familiar and clearly defined. At the same time, there is now another reality here that is not always visible at first glance. People from very different origins live here, have found their way here, and are now part of this region, even if their story began elsewhere.

This collection emerged precisely from this observation and is closely linked to personal experience. The move to the Black Forest was not just a change of location, but also a process of arriving between two worlds. Origin remains palpable, even if life changes. One moves between what one brings and what newly surrounds one.

The works consciously embrace this tension. They combine typical elements of the Black Forest with influences from other cultural backgrounds. Details, forms, and moods are reassembled without losing their origins. This creates images that show both: the rootedness in a region and the traces of other life paths.

This collection is intended to encourage a closer look. Behind every person is a story that is often more complex than it initially appears. Those who are willing to look behind the surface discover perspectives that can broaden and enrich their own view.
