Grounding

Grounding is not heaviness.
Grounding is relationship.

The series Grounding explores an elemental condition of life: the connection between body and environment, inner and outer, tension and balance.

What interests me here is not only grounding as physical contact with the earth, but as a state of connectedness. A living system is not stable because nothing happens, but because it is constantly perceiving, responding, and regulating. Human beings, too, do not exist in isolation from their surroundings, but in continuous exchange with them.

The cubic forms of the works condense this idea into a simple, almost archaic geometry. The cube stands for matter, limitation, and embodiment. At the same time, wax, resin, and natural materials carry traces of origin, transformation, and cycle within them.

Concepts such as creation, humility, and cycle do not point to a fixed narrative. Rather, they open a view onto fundamental movements of life: coming into being, connecting, transforming, and returning.

Grounding asks what sustains us when external certainties fall away. Where do we find support — in the body, in perception, in our relationship to the world?

Perhaps grounding does not ultimately mean becoming motionless.

But rather being so deeply connected that movement remains possible.
