BE(HAVE)
2024-2025

During a two-year stay in Oman, I was confronted with a cultural reality different from my own. This experience made my own conditioning visible—through gestures, distance, and everyday interactions I had previously taken for granted. This direct comparison became the starting point for BEHAVE (2024–2025).

​

The project explores how human behavior is shaped by cultural imprinting and how much of what we do is actually conscious. Moving between Berlin and Muscat, it examines subtle but powerful differences in social codes and embodied habits.

The paintings, inspired by Cy Twombly, function as experimental spaces where these patterns are disrupted. Gestural marks and layered traces both reflect and question cultural conditioning.

​

At its core, BEHAVE revolves around one central idea: freedom—not as a given, but as something negotiated within the limits of what has shaped us.

The paintings are available on Singulart.
