I am a jewellery artist studying in the class of Jewellery and Hollowware in Akademie der Bildenden Künste München.

In my practice I often reflect on the human relationship with nature and the interaction between us people and our environment. I work a lot with natural materials I gather from my surroundings and bring a human-made element into the pieces.

Throughout history people have had an impact on their surroundings, but in the past few centuries it has accelerated at an incredible pace. The planet will adapt to that change, but whether it happens in a way where the planet stays inhabitable for us remains to be seen.

My pieces deal with the anxiety and guilt that I feel when I think about the current state of the world, but also with a more personal relationship with the forest and nature in general.

The common thread in all of it is balance. People are not separate from nature, but a part of it.
