„...still very early but positive“ she repeated on the phone. She was radiant as I had never seen her before. After the phone call we sat on the couch, she sweated through and I with a beating heart. There were now three of us. Fear, doubt, joy and a very strong feeling of togetherness played Ping-Pong with my state of mind. It was a wonderful time. During the time in quarantine, I had a lot of time to think. I started taking self-portraits as a visual expression of my reflection process. My portraits were taken during the period of isolation, but reflect the year 2020, which has tested me emotionally as never before. I challenged myself on telling my story through moods rather than through concrete actions. I feel as if bad things keep recurring, like every two months. But the good things are also repeated, but they are usually harder to perceive. In my head, the image of periodic waves arose: Waves of good and of bad, which interfere and to which we humans are consistently exposed.
