Master's student at Merz Akademie Stuttgart.

I’m an artist working with formalism in photography. I’m interested in exploring and researching the world of visual perception and visual experience from the perspective of formalism, psychedelic (mind-expanding) states, and embodied shared practices. I create Psychedelic Maps - coherent layouts (collages) of photographs working as visual fields on multiple levels of visual perception - that are interconnected, together creating an artistic universe.

I'm friendly, optimistic, curious, and open.

Interests

I'm interested in cognition, self-exploration, meditation, performative art, movement, sound, and a bunch of other fascinating things. Life is infinitely beautiful, and it's a privilege for me to be able to travel and meet brilliant people.
