About the artist:
In my works, and in my selection of moments, I try to get closer to time as well as this infinite form. The surprise of the moment is inherent in all of the motifs. These moments are taken from the topic of 'nature and creation,' as well as from our everyday surroundings. I'm interested in perception, in the pause, in reflection. It's also about uniqueness, about characterizing and getting closer to things. The fascination of holding onto 'intangible' moments is also compulsory. These moments allow one to recognize an aspect of the nature of each subject-while being aware, at the same time, of an enormous incompleteness. (Sonja Weber)
