Social, cultural and societal themes such as displacement, migration, social inequality, representation and territorial issues are
a fundamental part of my interdisciplinary artistic practice. My most recent work, "Hope" (2024) deals with the feeling of
powerlessness and inability to act in the context of German discourse culture towards Israel and Palestine and the ultimately
most important denominator that should unite us all from a human perspective: the hope for peaceful coexistence in solidarity.
The combination of politics and poetics characterizes my perspective and my artistic, curatorial, political and pedagogical work
processes.
