Bubbles
‚Between Desire and Relief.‘
“Bubbles” is a playful dive into the unruly joys of consumption. Each close-up brims with liquid abandon, reflecting a moment caught between indulgence and anarchy—where desire erupts in shimmering bursts, daring us to celebrate the transience of pleasure with unbridled freedom.
The effervescent rush hints at our constant thirst for more, each bubble bursting with a raw, liberating energy. In the chaos of liquid abandon, boundaries dissolve and pleasure demands to be savored—untamed, unapologetic.
An American Fable – Fragments of Hope and Despair - inspired by Shakespeare
Prompt:
In the dim glow of fading ambitions, shadows stretch long over a landscape littered with the remnants of forsaken truths. Here, illusions are not merely harbored but meticulously constructed, layer upon layer, by those who barter honesty for lies to sustain their power. This tapestry of deceit, woven with threads of denial and artifice, ensnares the many in a web designed for the few. As in a fable where characters craft their own delusions, society teeters on the precipice, blinded by the very fabrications it clings to, edging ever closer to an abyss of its own making.
These solitary figures and pivotal scenes reinterpret Shakespeare’s dramas, exploring the boundary between reality and imagination. Each image captures moments charged with tension, where hope meets despair and strength confronts vulnerability.
What Dreams May Come
- And The Golden Curtain
Prompt:
The Invisible Space That Shapes Us
This essays reflects on how we navigate between these invisible spaces: the hope for what is to come and the melancholy of what has been lost. The various figures are not mere representations of ideas—they are mirrors of our inner experiences.
Eternal Sleep, Childlike Imagination, and the Threshold to the Future
In Marisol, a layered narrative unfolds, where the invisibility of what is yet to come is embedded in symbolic imagery. The visual language goes beyond mere illustration—it creates a symbolic landscape that mirrors the protagonist’s inner world. The figures are not mere representations of ideas—they are mirrors of our inner experience.
The Power of Possibility and the Silence of What Is to Come
From Shakespeare’s Hamlet emerges the question: “What dreams may come…”—What dreams may visit us in that sleep? This line opens an in-between space: life, death, imagination. The skull, a symbol of transience, does not merely signify an end but marks the threshold to the unknown.
“A flower that never withers, a bloom that never truly was”
A study in perception—these flowers exist, yet they don’t.
A reinterpretation of the delicate balance between the organic and the artificial, where each petal exists in a space between memory and invention. Here, still life is not about preservation, but transformation—inviting us to see nature through a different lens.
- In the House of Shadows
Prompt:
‚Raven‘ continues the ideas introduced in ‚Marisol‘. The images depict a half-lit, seemingly abandoned house where a single figure sits with a raven, echoing the cryptic whisper “Nevermore.” This setting invites a closer look at how memory and uncertainty intertwine, suggesting a quiet shift from the warmth of the past to the unsettled shadows of the present.
“Nevermore.”
– Magical Realism – inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, reflecting on loss and the irrevocable.
The Invisible That Shapes Us
Marisol and Raven are fragments of a larger dialogue. They ask: What is more real – what we see, or what we merely sense?
Between imagination and memory, hope and loss, lies the true space of human existence. It is not the visible that defines us, but the invisible – the shadow behind the curtain, the silence between words, revealing who we truly are.
Raven #01 – „Nevermore“
I invented this character, Raven, as an expression of mystery without explanation. What you see in the images isn’t a story to be told, but a quiet exploration of loss, memory, and the spaces in between. Her presence invites you to experience the unspoken and to find your own meaning in the unexplained.
For me, this image is a personal exploration of the space between memory and absence. It’s not about promoting a motif but sharing why I create: to awaken to the subtle, unseen forces that both haunt and inspire us. Every day, I find myself drawn to the tension between what is lost and what remains—a quiet invitation to reimagine our inner narratives.
Marisol's Gaze
“A presence felt—where does reality begin?”
It is an intriguing reality. Why? I can’t tell. Is it the precision? The power of the thought? Is it because it is more than an image—because it is born out of an idea?
This portrait does not seek answers; it lingers in the question itself. Marisol’s gaze meets us, yet was never truly there. The raven, close as if whispering a secret, exists only as an echo of something never spoken. If this moment was never captured, never lived—why does it feel so tangible?
AI does not replace reality; it dissects it, reconstructs it, bends it to intention. Light does not fall on skin, but it suggests warmth. The raven’s feathers do not stir, yet we anticipate movement. What we see is not memory, nor fiction, but a presence shaped from absence.
If presence is felt, does it matter that it was never there?
In the Uncanny Valley – Perfection is betrayal.
Here lies the paradox: By surrendering to imagination, I question the real. By embracing the simulation, I sense its fracture. Generative photography confronts us with exactly this moment – an aesthetic of uncertainty, where seeing itself becomes a question. The real question is not whether generative photography reproduces reality or not. The real question is: What reality does it create? And how does it change our perception of what we consider real?
