Statement of Truth – für „PIXELS“ PIXELS is not about photography. And yet, it begins there. This work lives in the tension between the photographic and the abstract – between what is seen and what is sensed. By breaking down visual structures into their smallest digital components, I question the illusion of clarity in an age of pixel-perfect imagery. What remains when sharpness becomes surface? When skin turns to code, and faces dissolve into patterns of light and noise? AI becomes my tool, but not my answer. It allows me to explore a new kind of vulnerability – one that is constructed, yes, but still emotionally resonant. In this tension lies the truth I’m after: that beauty can fragment, that digital images can breathe, and that art may still ask questions, even when generated by a machine. PIXELS is a study of disintegration and reconstruction. Of identity, texture, and the invisible boundary between control and chaos. My truth? I don't aim to replicate the real. I aim to re-feel it.

AI enables me to use it as a tool, to try things out and to express myself in this way. To combine images and fantasies and create something new.
