Postkolonialismus in Deutschland
This large-scale artwork was part of a multi-stage performance series created during an artist residency in Herne, exploring themes of post colonialism and historical narratives. Presented on five different stages, including Ringlokschuppen and Theater Hagen, the installation used dynamic light and color to transform its visuals and evoke layered interpretations of history and identity.
The artwork is a six meter long painted linen, meticulously designed to reveal shifting imagery under transitions of red, blue, and white light. These changes offered audiences an immersive experience, inviting them to uncover hidden details and question established narratives.

Layers of Perception Marienplatz, Kreativ München, Jan–Feb 2025
This light-based installation revealed a jellyfish under blue light and a whale under red, two coexisting images, only visible through shifting filters. By using color to alter perception, the work questioned how easily reality can be distorted. What we see depends on how we look. Through this shifting visibility, Layers of Perception explores how our understanding of reality is filtered—by light, language, and perspective.
The work reflects on the layered nature of truth and identity: how something can hold multiple forms, histories, or emotions at once, depending on how it is illuminated. Nothing is ever just one thing.
Waves explores the interplay of visibility and concealment through shifting colored light, transforming the viewer’s perception with each change. Lines emerge, disappear, or intensify depending on the hue, echoing the duality and interdependence of light and darkness. This dynamic relationship invites contemplation on the mutable nature of truth and perception, embodying the core of dualism: what is hidden contains the potential to be revealed, and vice versa.
