Not Me: Cherub

This series is about “what I could have been” or “what I could have become” – but didn't. By using the professions and inspirations that I dreamed about as a child, these works narrate an alternate reality I could have imagined. All those things that did not come true, but still resonate with me, are somehow reflected in me – and now in these works.

I would have liked to be a priest. But I didn't. I would have liked to be an architect. But I didn't. I would have liked to be a basketball star. But I didn't. I'd like to be an angel. But I'm not.
