Confession to our Future

We need to re-define common goals for our future. Economic growth has helped us a lot to reduce poverty globally, but the time has come now to build a broader approach. What should be the new paradigm? We do not know.

We need to re-define common goals for our future. Economic growth has helped us a lot to reduce poverty globally, but the time has come now to build a broader approach, reducing the devastating impact on our environment and on human interest. To save our future, we need to find a balance between economic progress, protection of our environment and human wellbeing. What the first two mean should be obvious. But what does human wellbeing mean and what is our new paradigm? We must confess that we have no answers to these questions.

I work in a controlled studio environment. Mostly, I add a physical element to an image I have made outside the studio. Other images are exclusively made in the studio. What has been added/made refers to what we cannot see or cannot understand. The images we see were visible as such in the studio environment. The objects/additions in my work refer to us as humans in the cosmos. It is what makes us aware of our own existence and it is a source of meaning in our lives.

To my opinion, our intuition is the key to a better world. The underlying intention of my work is to trigger our intuition. I think it is important for all of us to allow us to trust our intuition and to give ourselves the time to be moved by the mystery of life and our existence the cosmos. Because then we experience what really matters and what our priorities should be building our future. This why I started this project.
