Mixed media, 2024
Suicide is a solution to a depressed state. Circumstances juxtapose hopelessness against liberation.
The installation "Faith, Hope, Love - Died" is dedicated to all those who experienced despair and could not cope with its burden. Experiencing this intense pain, people lost faith that everything could get better, lost hope that they would be helped, lost love for life. Feelings were the first to leave. A person followed them.
