ARE YOU THE WIND THAT CARRIES ME ON ?
WHEN EVERYDAY LIFE FEELS TOO HEAVY…
Sometimes it all becomes too much – the mind is overloaded, the body tired, the joy gone. In those moments, we need spaces that don’t demand, but open. This artwork offers exactly that: an experiential space for sensing instead of thinking, for moving instead of enduring. An invitation to reconnect with your own strength and clarity.
ARE YOU THE WIND THAT CARRIES ME ON ?
The object emerged from a personal experience of therapeutic fasting, retreat, and conscious self-awareness. It stands for movement, transformation, and the power of reduction. It doesn’t explain – but it makes something tangible.
It invites you to look more slowly, breathe more deeply, and become more still.
Suitable for:
– Exhibition spaces
– Retreat locations
– Health, meditation, or seminar centers
– Entrances, quiet rooms, or contemplative zones
SPATIAL IMPACT
The lightweight, handcrafted elements can float freely in the space or be mounted on the wall. They respond to light, perspective, and movement – subtly transforming the atmosphere of the room.
They create a sense of openness, calm, and lightness. They support retreat and reflection, encourage clarity, and evoke a feeling of new beginnings – without demanding attention.
They shift the atmosphere in a tangible way.
They promote inner alignment and regeneration.
Quietly present, yet deeply effective.
ON THE WALL
Whether suspended freely in space or mounted on a wall – the work remains alive.
Its uniqueness lies in its adaptability: the individual modules can be rearranged again and again.
After deinstallation, it doesn’t simply return to its previous state –
instead, a new form emerges, a new composition, a new expression.
The work stays in motion – like a process that quietly, organically, and openly continues to evolve.
– Handcrafted from painted, flexible textile surfaces
– Modular: can be installed individually or in groups
– Diameter: 60–100 cm, variable volumes
– Suitable for wall mounting or free suspension
– Easy to transport and rearrange
– Works in both bright and dimly lit spaces – with or without additional lighting
DESIGN & FLEXIBILITY
PERSONAL BACKGROUND
This work was born from a phase one year ago when everything became too much.
I was under intense professional pressure and, personally, in deep grief – mourning the loss of my "more-than-mother," the person closest to me. The pain was overwhelming. I felt exhausted, overburdened, and empty inside.
The first step was to acknowledge that – and give myself time. I began fasting. It wasn’t my first fasting experience, but it became one of the clearest – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Shortly after, I received an unexpected invitation to Canada – a stay with a professional hockey team. I accepted without really knowing what I was looking for. What mattered was: distance. A change of scenery.
In the open, vast spring landscape of Canada, I found something I couldn’t name – but I could feel it.
Each day, under a blooming willow tree, I experienced a moment of stillness. I sat, meditated, felt the wind, and observed the rhythm of nature.
I began to draw...
not with a plan, but guided by inner movement.
Physical and emotional processes unfolded in parallel: the pain was present, but it began to transform.
And from that depth emerged the idea for a new piece –
a form not only to hold that moment, but to pass something on: what Ursula had given me – sewing, assembling, the trust that something whole can emerge from fragments.
Unity in motion. Joy drawn from nature.
Making sources of healing visible.
This is how the work came into being.
It carries a personal story – but it’s not about looking back.
It’s about passing something on.
About what remains, transforms –
and carries forward… like the wind.
