The series of self-lovers deals with the inability to have children. After several failed attempts in the fertility clinic, the artist tries to regain her footing.
At the same time, the self-lovers deal with their isolation in Corona times and how they deal with it (and of course go far beyond that). The current portrait series was created during the worldwide Corona lockdown. The figures depicted are crammed into their format, locked in, knotted up inside themselves and vulnerable. They support themselves, have several hands to embrace, to caress and yet they are complete and at one with themselves in their form.
Self-love, that actually means nothing other than loving yourself. It is to be distinguished from narcissism, egocentrism and egoism. It is an essential part of self-worth and closely related to self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-confidence.
and self-confidence. Do we get through a crisis better with more self-love?
