About the project
Step into the world of my artistic expressions with two distinctive exhibitions in London: "Uncountable" and "Lost in the Blue." "Uncountable" delves into the celebration of imperfections, self-love, and the human form through captivating body castings. On the other hand, "Lost in the Blue" invites you to experience a multidimensional realm of phobia through a cutting-edge fusion of virtual reality, immersive soundscapes, and 3D elements. Each exhibition offers a unique exploration of diverse themes, inviting you to embrace imperfections and confront the depths of phobia in a visually stunning and emotionally engaging way.
In conclusion, the final act of these exhibitions is an invitation: to transition from spectator to immersed participant, embracing imperfections and confronting phobias within a visually stunning and emotionally resonant tapestry. Your presence has the power to transform these showcases into shared experiences, lingering in the echoes of art well beyond the confines of the gallery walls.

Understanding and embracing our idiosyncrasies, imperfections, and flaws isn't merely an action with merit; it's a profound recognition that each scar, stretch mark, or wound on our bodies contributes to our unique appearance, attitude, personality, and outlook.
Drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, the process of mending broken pieces with gold teaches us to create something stronger and more beautiful by embracing flaws and imperfections. This metaphor for healing extends beyond physical scars, emphasizing the importance of being at peace with the healing process in various life events. It teaches us that through repairing things that have broken, we often create something more unique, beautiful, and resilient.
Life, as the narrative unfolds, is about learning, evolving, and accepting not only visible scars but also those etched on our hearts and souls. "Time heals all wounds," they say, but perhaps it means learning to love oneself with all the flaws and imperfections, recognizing that everything happens as it is meant to. It's not about being obligated to be okay with something but understanding that life won't always be perfect. The journey is about self-love, accepting scars on the soul and mind, and acknowledging that not everything in life will be flawless. It's a reminder that everyone is different, with unique intuitions, preferences, and predispositions.
The focus should be on being comfortable in one's own skin and with personal choices, fostering self-love, embracing one's body, and falling in love with both the self and its imperfections. It's a call to resist conforming to external standards and instead align with one's own healing process.
In conclusion, my involvement extended beyond working with body castings. I took on the role of a wordsmith, crafting texts that I then laser-cut into mirrored acrylic. The underlying idea aimed to create a unique experience where individuals could see themselves reading these texts, fostering a renewed sense of self-love and empathy. This innovative approach sought to deepen the connection between the viewer and their reflection, offering a moment of introspection and self-appreciation.

During this project, I have explored the uncharted territories of both real-world and virtual realms, seamlessly integrating AI data, 3D landscapes, and original creations. The narrative delves into the contrast between love and fear, using text, sound, and visuals to guide the audience into an exploration of the unbearable.
Drawing parallels between the vastness of multidimensional space and the ocean, I constructed waves as a symbolic representation, both digitally and physically, using techniques such as moving image, 3D printing and 3D scanning. The process involves 3D rendering, experimenting with sound effects, and using various parameters to create diverse and captivating wave forms.
Lost in the blue
Have you ever been afraid of the ocean?
This work seeks to find comfort in places you’ve been most afraid of. Growing up in landlocked Austria, I have loved spending time by the sea and do find comfort in it.
However, not everyone sees it that way. The deep expanses of the ocean are frightening for many and bring them not only fear, but distress and phobias.
I try to provide not only the human eye, but also the human psyche with the beauty of the sea and want to evoke a contrast between the co-opposites of fear and love.
Is there a world deep down in the sea that we have no idea about? Certainly.
