In this drawing series, I increasingly engage with the traces of childhood in times of war. The starting point is photographs of destroyed places in which fragments of everyday life remain visible—toys, clothing, or pieces of furniture among the rubble. I translate these images into a raw, fragmented visual language that evokes a childlike perception of the world. Lines break off, perspectives dissolve, and forms remain unstable. War appears not only as a subject matter but also alters the very structure of drawing itself: “No structure needs to be broken apart anymore, because everything already lies in ruins.” In this way, a pictorial space emerges between memory, loss, and imagination.
