It began with light and old glass.

In the early 2000s,
I worked on minimalist LED lights
while collecting old glass bottles and beads.

At some point, the idea emerged
to bring the two together –
out of a poetic impulse.

Light has fascinated me
for as long as I can remember.

As presence.

I don’t just find things.
I find ideas.

Every piece begins with an encounter.
With a fragment.
With a trace.

What follows is patient work –
observing, adjusting, reducing –
in the trust
that material and light
will enter into a coherent relationship.
Beauty is present. 

I live and work in Hamburg. 

My studio is a place of concentration.
Of reduction.
Of attention.

This is where the jeweLIGHTS come into being.

Shaped by life.
Honored by light.
Held by peace.

Light as presence.

I work at the intersection
of material, time and light.

Every piece begins
with an encounter.
With a fragment.
With a trace.

What follows is patient
observing,
adjusting,
reducing.

I live and work in Hamburg.
This is where the jeweLIGHTS come into being.

Shaped by life.
Honored by light.
Held by peace.
