EMPTY MEMORY, 2023
This work combines historical science with artistic methods to explore the intertwined realms of memory, history and narrative construction; highlighting the bizarre complexity of the subject of history as a science.
By exploring the narrative of creating ceramic vessels as a research methodology the author analyzes the non-linear, fragmented nature of the resulting research. This personal narrative resonates throughout the work. This work also aligns the science of history to the water that molds the vessels and weaves the feelers through the concepts of memory perspectives of historiography and the role of silence in remembrance.
By sculpting the vessels, this interdisciplinary research offers a perspective on the shaping and experiencing of historiography. It presents the inclusion of artistic practice by introducing a sculptural space of memory containers in which (alien) beings come to life and wait to be filled with new memories.
The artistic component of the masterthesis ‘Empty Memory’ was exhibited at alte Postsparkasse (PSK) during the AAA-Festival (Angewandte). Vienna, January 25–30, 2024. Art&Science, University of Applied Arts Vienna.

The Nail doesn’t Grow Apart from the Body, 2022
– The Nails and Tentacle are objects that reach out –
Organic structures can be found in them. Round shapes, gel textures and extreme color spectrums allow visual movements that are in dissonance with the reduced motoric ability of the hand.
– The Nail is in the eye of the beholder –
A focus is placed on the materials, as they differ from the materials usually chosen to create nail art - it is a translation. By intuitively applying materials to the fake Nails, Minuscule Sculptures come alive. At hand, playing with different focal points on the small ones, the eye is drawn to different layers of these Minuscule Sculptures. The distance, the proximity and the multiplicity of the sculptures change the experience depending on which focus is placed on them.
– 10 nails form a hand, one nail stands for itself –
This investigation goes beyond the visual experiment by shifting the focus and turning the painting of the fingernails into an encounter between the painter and the painted one. A space without linear time, a feminine safe-space.
– The Minuscule Sculptures are placed on a grand scale –
The Minuscule Sculptures are anchored in the form of a table that is meant to provide sensitive and emotional encounters. The connection is made through the formation of minuscule sculptures and one immense sculpture. Movement and organic patterns are reproduced, creating a space that provides and harbors care. Waves are created. Time is lost. Senses are stimulated. A playground emerges from the deep sea. Colors bring them together. Bright tones create and shape inner feelings, which lead to a feminine view on the shared space.
A space where there are no corners and that is tactilely agile. A space where you are made to feel safe. Patterns are maximized, embodied ripples merge into the body, movements change.
