A picture can tell a thousand stories, depending on how it will be viewed. A mood or atmosphere speaks to the emotional level without giving an explanation. What I find most beautiful with artistic work, is that you can tell a story without using words for it. Andersartigkeit (Anders-ART-igkite in the phonetic pronunciation) is a German word for otherness that for me is something I can hardly explain with words. It is like a feeling, as you can never truly find the exact words for. Everyone contemplates and comprehends things "differently" and in their own way. I do not like to describe the atmosphere or meaning that I express in my work. I think it's nice as well as important that everyone gives their own meaning on what they see. The possibilities are endless with art. There is always something to discover, including new material, new techniques with even an infinite combination of both. Things that appeal to me can sometimes be incredibly different, with no direct or indirect connections, which can be seen in my work or creations. I have created ideas, and it is yours to create your own stories from it.
