Black Beauty presents a radical exposure: the plant, in all its complexity, is disconnected from any narrative or ecological context. It is precisely this detachment that reveals what otherwise dissolves into the background noise of the world - the deep structure of a being suspended between becoming and passing away.
Black Beauty explores the second bloom, the moment in which plants form their seed capsules, the fragile vessels of a future generation. In this phase, temporal dimensions overlap: what is fading simultaneously prepares what is yet to come. The plant is neither beginning nor end, but a transition - the fragile space between past and future.
In this isolated depiction, the paradox sharpens. The eye loses all distraction and sees: life and decay are not opposites but two movements within the same process. Black Beauty renders this interweaving visible - a quiet, dark trace of beauty that, through its reduction, resonates more intensely than any ornamental abundance.

Künstlerstatement:
Diese Grafik stammt aus der Afterglow-Serie. Eine Serie von Drucken, die entstanden ist, als ich von der zweiten Blüte der Pflanzen fasziniert war, wenn sie die Verpackung ihrer Samen, der zukünftigen Generation, erschaffen. Verfall und Leben gleichermaßen, Vergangenheit und Zukunft.

Artist statement:
This plate stems from the Afterglow Series - a series of prints done when having been fascinated by the second blossom of the plants, when they create the packaging of their seeds, the future generation. Decay and life alike, past and future.
