At the heart of my project lies the visual exploration of the resonant 
relationship between humans and nature (as described by Hartmut Rosa). Where 
are we part of nature, and where do we stand apart – in dialogue or in 
conflict? How can resonance become visible? My aim is to sharpen our 
awareness of the importance of nature for us – physically, mentally, and 
socially – and to deepen our sense of awareness with it. The 
photographs and texts intentionally leave space for personal interpretation, 
as each individual’s resonance with nature is unique.
The project was inspired by my own bond with nature, which in everyday life 
finds increasingly little room. Even here in Germany, there are fewer and 
fewer places where nature is allowed to unfold freely. The greatest challenge 
throughout the process was to grasp the complexity of the topic while 
simplifying it to match the project’s framework. Particularly enriching – and 
equally demanding – was approaching the subject photographically, as my 
previous focus lay in communication design.
