In this book, I present a collection of photographs that focus on the white season. The color white symbolizes beauty, hope, and optimism. Perhaps that is precisely why I feel so at ease in winter. Photography helped me cope with a difficult time— a period marked by significant health challenges, both past and present. Guided by intuition, I found a way to express my emotions through these images; consequently, this work represents a vital step in my evolution toward artistic photography. To complement my own reflections on the images, I have selected quotes from renowned artists and polymaths
I am 55 years old and live in Seligenstadt, Hesse. For many years, I worked as a landscape gardener, where I was able to work creatively with nature. Due to tragic events, I can no longer pursue my profession, which gave me time to devote more intensively to photography. Initially, it was primarily while traveling and in nature that I discovered abstract and contemporary photography. With a camera, you can create beautiful, individual works of art; you just have to get involved. This doesn't happen at the push of a button, however; it happens intuitively, based on the situation.
