This series moves between proximity and distance, between connection and separation. It explores different forms of togetherness—within large or small groups, or in solitude: quiet, deliberate, and self-contained. Across urban structures, imagined islands, and entire continents.
These dynamic structures emerge within a Petri dish filled with a soap solution. Color pigments are injected—sometimes with force, sometimes with restraint. Bubbles, clusters, and islands begin to form: fragile configurations in a constant state of transformation. Almost as soon as they are captured, they begin to dissolve, reconnect, or disappear, making way for new forms. Where nothing collides, colors spread slowly—forming subtle transitions and intermediate zones, continuously shifting.
What becomes visible evokes crowds and their absence. Moments in which encounters take place—or are missed. The dispersal of a group. The beauty of the silence that follows. The transient nature of these formations reflects the impermanence of human relationships—constantly shifting, dissolving, and forming anew.
These images are not about particular individuals, but about the human condition itself. About the shifting relationship between proximity and distance. About living in connection with others—and within a space of one’s own.
These and other works from „Us Them We“ are available as limited edition fine art prints in selected formats in the online shop. Large formats are produced exclusively for exhibitions, galleries, and upon individual request.
