In an old fabric as a modern temple I imagine an actual problem like the female genital mutilation.
The Nefertiti I saw im Berlin's Neues Museum was the central focus of the work. The anonym victim wears a mask: through a timeless symbol beauty she cannot shows her pain. As the six Egyptian goodness, the women from different continents participate in the barbarism cult, a moment before the police arrive.

The latest Cambodia’s war crimes tribunal’s news and a travel to Angkor gave me an obsession about prosecutors and innocents. I had a vision of too young Khmer soldiers with Kalashnikovs between sculptures of the powerful god Ganesha and Apsara-dancer. A girl-soldier imitated her. No witnesses, only a serpent-like hand in typical dance pose, to stop the time and change the situation.

Through a smoky background as a stage-street like scenario on asphalt a futuristic soldier in motorcycle Leather Suit with dragon emblems destroys with black ink the vinyl strokes painted by the lying figure. Another fight takes place between a yakuza and a phoenix tattooed girl like the geishas in Mizoguchi´s film. Cartoons hands and Manga- pirate-women surround the apocalyptic fight nature vs. machine, Berlin vs. Babylon, art and destruction.

Andromeda was a princess from Greek mythology who, as divine punishment for her mother's bragging, and was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster.This is my personal contemporary portrait of the modern Andromeda.

The 2009 Burgos bombing occurred on July 29, 2009, when at least 65 people were injured after a van bomb carrying more than 300 kg of explosive went off outside a Civil Guard barracks in the northern city of Burgos, Spain. The attack was blamed on Basque separatist group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA)

SOMALIA Disturbed vision of a pirate

Zimbabwe´s nightmare

Thick dust and streams of gas are leaving the nebula. A tied figure submissive to her fate.

Through faceless bodies and faces without bodies I materialized abstract ideas like love, past, conquest, death or eternity in figures like the Fallen, the Lovers and the Victory over Destiny.
