“The COVID-19 pandemic inspired me to make this ceramic artwork. The microscopic virus not visible to the naked eye has an astonishingly huge effect on the life of our society and every individual therein. I illustrated this idea by enlarging the virus-motifs on the surface of this ceramic artwork and reducing the size of the many puzzle-figures symbolizing human society. I marked the individual differences with symbolic stamps on the puzzle-figures.”

“My unique technique, with the flat plane turning into a three dimensional space, therefore allowing us to look the artwork from different viewpoints and see different aspects, gives expression to the universality and complexity of how the meaning of a single concept transforms through different viewpoints. It also represents how our perception is limited and we can observe only a few of all the dimensions. These views – though often clashing, finally complete each other and together form the whole.”
