The series deals with processes that challenge life through the dissolution of female living conditions. It tells of an intermediate state, neither today nor tomorrow, neither happiness nor unhappiness. A state between times, between movements, but without standing still. The photographed motif is merely the initial starting point for my creative process. My digital superimposing of different motifs shows reality as interpretation and at the same time as irritation. Therefore, my work becomes the image of a surreal journey into my poetic and aesthetic appropriation of the world.
