ABOUT ME

Born in 1999 in Northern Germany, I am a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of textiles, performance, and visual art. My practice revolves around the transformation of material, identity and emotion.

 

My background spans photography, digital art, and tattoo-inspired graphics, which all inform the visual language of my current work. Through processes of hand-dyeing, printing, bleaching, distressing, and layering, I turn garments into vessels of expression, each piece a fragment of a larger narrative I call rifts. There is a world of “Doil”, and the rifts bring relics from it, so that people can experience it.

 

I never studied fashion or design. I learned by doing, by failing, by trusting instinct over instruction. That raw, unfiltered energy is what defines my process. Every stitch and mark carries intent and sincerity.

 

My work is shaped by themes of darkness, loss, self-reconstruction and abstraction. I am drawn to what is broken and unfinished, to what speaks through silence rather than perfection.

At its core, my art explores the human need to create meaning and expression. It is not about clothing, it is about preservation, transformation, and the beauty that exists inside rupture.
