centered

In my series "Centered", I explore the interplay between presence and absence. Crafted frames made of blackened iron hold cut-out, colored plastic plates and together form striking and dominant structures. At the center of the pieces, an empty space remains – intentionally left open, not as a deficiency, but as an essential part of the composition.

This absence stands in contrast to the strong materiality, yet it is an integral element of the design. Upon closer inspection, a connection emerges: the materials not only emphasize their own presence, but also render the absence visible.
My aim is not to create a contrast, but a dialogue. Presence and absence work together – both are necessary to grasp the piece fully.
