Works 2006 – 2016

Cocooning expresses our utmost wish for a safe home. This basic need is denied to a currently increasing number of people seeking refuge.

The cocoons of silkworms are a meta-narrative for a deep desire of shelter and also for the transitional character of life. Also human beings are transformed by age and by fate.

The cocoons are leftovers from silk production. The beautiful form inspired me to transform it into precious material, and create an object of value between nature and art.
