Bezug nehmend zur Schweizer Kultur und Geschichte soll mein Projekt während meines Aufenthalts in Brig zwei Ziele verfolgen:1) Durch Beobachten möchte ich definieren, wie hier die urbanen Ausdehnungen die lokale Umgebung beeinflussen. Dabei gilt mein Interesse Plätzen und Grünanlagen Ich werde aber auch in umliegende Städte reisen und mir Wissen aneignen über Schweizer Geschichte und Architektur. In meinen Bildern werde ich bildhauerische Elemente und Muster einbauen. Um das Sichtbare mit dem Unsichtbaren zu verbinden. 2) Möchte ich auf Ortspezifisches fokussieren um lokale Eigenheiten hervorzuheben um so durch Visualisierung Verständnis zu schaffen.
