Echoes of Vogelsang, Berlin (2023)

“Echoes of Vogelsang” captures the haunting remnants of an abandoned military settlement near Berlin — a place where silence has settled into the walls. Layers of peeling paint reveal decades of humidity, neglect, and human absence. Each surface becomes a living organism of decay, a topography of time. The colour palette of oxidized greens and ochres evokes both corrosion and rebirth: the slow respiration of history itself.

Beneath Berlin (Metro Series) (2022)

Photographed beneath the streets of Berlin, this work exposes the veins of a living city — a subterranean world of concrete, cables, and coded graffiti. “Beneath Berlin” turns infrastructure into architecture of memory. The dim light and geometric structure evoke a sense of containment and continuity, where modernity carries the weight of the past. The absence of people amplifies presence: this is the echo chamber of history.
