Braille-series

In her artistic exploration, Braille's codes are transformed into physical movements, patterns and traces that capture the viewer's attention. On the canvas, these codes manifest themselves through raised dots, and are written in a simplified Braille script. These points become an integral part of the artwork, hidden within the visual language of shape, color and texture, and stimulate the memory of the sense of touch.
The series is deeply rooted in the artist's academic background and long-standing fascination with the philosophy of language and communication theories, which was deepened through the master's education with a focus on Merleau-Ponty and Wittgenstein. It reflects an ongoing exploration of how language functions as a medium for human interaction and how it can be transformed into a visual and conceptual work of art.
As the philosopher Merleau-Ponty highlighted, our senses are intertwined to such an extent that they cannot operate independently of each other, but only as a whole. This concept is reflected in her paintings, which can be experienced on both a micro and meta level, as fragmented parts of a larger whole.
Her approach to braille has led to an awareness that it is by removing elements from the six standard points that the writing takes shape and becomes meaningful. This principle of reduction and removal is reflected in her work, which breaks with the whole and invites reflection. The clear physical movements in her works reflect the presence of voice and body, and become an essential part of communication. Lines, patterns, scribbles and dots become symbols of her striving to master language in order to improve communication.
Most of the paintings do not have fixed points so that they can be rotated in the desired direction, upside down, one after the other or sideways.
