“Where am I from?” – This question emerged at the beginning of the painting and wanted to be answered. So many aspects on so many different levels. Is the origin decisive? The area where one grew up and which we like to call “home”? And are there completely different forms of origin that are so much less concrete and thus also non-tangible?
What is astonishing in all of this is how stable the original is. Precisely because it cannot be grasped. It disappears so easily in everyday life – we are not yet used to holding its presence. And yet it is simply invulnerable. It simply waits until we are ready.
