About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to satisfy the curiosity

ABOUT ME

Life at the moment: I study at the School for Arts and Design in Offenbach and at the Goethe University of Frankfurt. My Majors are Media and Fine Arts as well as Fine Art History and Teaching. My life is based on the studies, but I also spend a lot of time in the city which means I participate in different kinds of social working projects and I like being on the move to meet my pals.
Traits: curious and erratic, caring - sometimes subsided, when strained I get stubborn or lazy, contemplative and communicative, imaginative and hands on.
Political Ideals: Anti-Rassist, Anti-Nationalistic, Anti-Sexist, Solidarity.

PHILOSOPHY

Habitually Challenging Limits and Excepting Ambivalencies.
