"Ich kann nicht anders" ("I cant help it") is about a very passionate phase of my life, driven by a search for connection while feeling out of place. The figure and the industrial bakcgorund express the emotional contrast and the pains I undertook to to find belonging while feeling unanchored in a world I didnt understand.
Through an intense color palette oranges and deep violets the idea of a freneitc even desperate search for connection is expressed. The work tries to capture a restless, phase of life where the search for intimacy becomes a desperate remedy for displacement, to find a sense of belonging in a foreign place.

"So wie es nie war" ("As it never was"), expresses a nostalgic or perhaps melancholic feeling. Its the mountain of my childhood, in the background and a ghostly blurred figure in the foreground. The figure feels out of place, doesnt belong here, just like me in a foreign coutnry.
But it is too late now to go back, the memories have been made, the past is gone.
The home we long for has become a place that exists only in our minds and is ultimaelty a fiction that is as it never was.
