Ich mag die Stille. Das In-mir-Sein, das Langsame. Und doch frage ich mich manchmal, wann sie kippt. Wann aus Ruhe Rückzug wird. Aus Rückzug Abschottung. Dann wird aus Stille Taubheit, so dass ich mich selbst nicht mehr hören kann. Zurzeit geht es mir ein bisschen so. Ich gehe anders durch

In just over two weeks, I’ll be heading to Spain – the Costa Brava, to be exact – and I honestly can’t wait. It’s been ages since I’ve seen the beach, and my longing for the sea has been getting a little out of hand.But you know how it is

Mental Load and Creative Blocks – Why a Full Mind Leaves Little Room for Inspiration

There are days when I feel like Wile E. Coyote—you know, from Roadrunner & Coyote. He takes off running, his legs spinning wildly, yet he stays in place, as if held back by an invisible force. Or even more fitting: he speeds ahead, completely unaware that he’s already run off

Art and Power: Why Authoritarian Regimes Fear Artists

The current global developments scare me. In many countries, authoritarian forces are gaining ground, and democratic values are under pressure.
