PROFILE

Growing up I was surrounded by objects that told stories. As the daughter of an antiques dealer and an architect, I learned early on to see things not just for what they are, but for the memories and meanings they carry. This perspective continues to shape my artistic practice today.

My work moves between philosophy and design — an ongoing attempt to collect, order, and recompose what is experienced, seen, and felt. I studied philosophy and communication design in Munich, always searching for ways to make the fragments of the world more graspable. Writing and collecting are central to my process: both are ways of reflecting, preserving, and creating new connections.

In projects like On Collecting, I explore how memory and materiality intersect — how private meaning can become publicly readable. My approach is often documentary and fragmentary, driven by curiosity and the desire to find resonance between seemingly unrelated things.
