The ear is the most efficient and, at the same time, the most sensitive sensory organ of human beings.
Our perception of the world is strongly influenced by visual stimuli, and that’s why we often underestimate the role of our ears.
In difficult times like this we often don’t know how to act. In my opinion it is essential to listen to those who have a strong voice but often are overheard.
These paintings reflect if the digital age and its ways and possibilities of communication brought us closer together in the end, or just increased the quantity of communication units.
They show two wolves, physically separated but linked through a copper wire. The idea was to have a diptych, which could be hung in two different places, but still stays connected.
The wolf is a recurring character in our works, an antropomorphism to examine human behavior in our late modern society. The shades work, similar like the screens we are communicating through, as a barrier that gives the sender the feeling of security while the recipient is hardly able to decode all the informations.
“Icarus has become better-known as the flyer who fell from the sky when the wax that joined his wings was melted by the heat of the sun.”
As fascinating and useful the progress of human civilization is, it might be dangerous as well. “Over-Progressing” may become the cause of our annihilation, like the story of Icarus; who flew so high that the sun melted the wax in his wing.
The sentence written in the artwork is a quote from E. O. Wilson, an American biologist, naturalist, and writer; refering to the myth of Icarus.
Communication towers, Inseparable parts of our civilization. The Connectors. Constantly present in the landscapes of our cities. Communication Ambassadors.
For most people life in this era is like to be trapped in an endless loop. We wake up, we repeat the same things we did yesterday again and again. Living in a full stop.
The artwork is inspired by Radiohead’s Ful Stop, and the title is a part of the song’s lyric.
Inspired by the Robert Adams series ‘Summer Nights, Walking’ I went for a few late night walks around my neighbourhood in north London. I realised that because of lockdown, I hadn’t been out at dark or taken a single photograph for over a month. It felt eerie and unsettling at first. The images were taken on a housing estate near where I live. The swaying trees framed the pockets of light from the windows, each small square representing domesticity, warmth and hope.
Society exists if it coexist. Cause effect and an anagram that goes beyond the status quo.
Being born and raised in a Middle-Eastern country with a dictator government, and seeing all the curroption, censorship, embezzlement, military repressions, poverty and etc. Always makes me wonder, are we living in a “Dystopia?”
A reaction to the horrific execution of George Floyd in plain sight of the world. Hopefully his death will lead to the reset of our relationship with our fellow humans and bring about a larger conversation on equality for all.
Only interaction with others makes coexistence possible. Come Together. Right Now.

We must give all living beings a serious role in the construction of our common world and contemplate all non-human life as sacred.
To live or exist together, especially in peace, at the same time or in the same place. That is the core of Coexistence.
Shapes and colors coexisting together in the same space.
coexist as listen, calm down and listen again, wait for to response, solidarity, togetherness, as caring for each other, speak out, reflecting…
I am a Romanian artist living and working in Edinburgh, Scotland. My work involves photography and moving image where I improvise with my body and everyday objects to distort my appearance and create unnatural and subtly distorted characters and scenes.
‘Buffalo’, ‘Plant’, ‘Scarecrow’ and ‘Tree’ are part of a larger series of black and white self-portraits inspired by flora and fauna.
Our mindsets inform our actions. When we’re motivated by self-interest alone we can be distanced from our peers and ignorant of their needs.
A “we” mindset establishes a sense of belonging which naturally fosters empathy for our fellow humans.
Coexistence is possible in diversity. Through the use of different typographic treatments, I wanted to create a poster that showcases how human diversity (race, culture, sex, religion, language, etc.) can create a whole.
Balance zwischen digitaler und realer Welt / Verbindung zu unseren Lieblingsmenschen / virtuelle Räume aufbauen und nicht verbauen / Bedürfnis nach nächster Nähe
Sometimes we forget that there is no Planet B.
How can humankind coexist in a socio-economic system which thrives on the exploitations of others? The notion of coexisting can never be in fruition when there is an exploited working class that works for a lifetime for the benefit of a few. The defining factor of life is money, a capitalist social construct that has poisoned societies with the consistent need to pursue and idolise the commodities, status and power it brings.
Society needs to detach from the selfish neoliberal ideologies that dictate our institutions, technologies and even our personal interactions. A socio-economic system that embodies the concept of coexisting would prioritise the need to put people before profit.
