I began (T)Räume in the summer of 2026 as a response to an ongoing inner conflict: how can all the subjects that occupy my mind coexist within a single body of work? Beauty and social critique, commerce and artistic freedom, nature and destruction, longing and desire, dreams and reality.

Rather than separating these opposing forces, I wanted to create a space in which they could exist simultaneously.

From Our Mother's Garden marks the beginning of a new body of work while remaining closely connected to (T)Räume. It continues my ongoing exploration of paradise, mythology, and the narratives that shape our understanding of origin, power, and care.

After spending the past year researching the apple, the story of Adam and Eve, and the cultural legacy of patriarchy, I found myself imagining a different point of departure: What if the story of paradise had been told from a mother's perspective rather than a father's? Rather than reversing one system with another, the work opens a space for imagining alternative values, relationships, and forms of coexistence.

The painting does not depict a garden. Instead, the title refers to an imagined place of origin. A vase holds a bouquet-like arrangement of ambiguous organic forms that resist a single interpretation. They may be read as flowers, breasts, eggs, fruit, seeds, or bodies in transformation—symbols of fertility, nourishment, vulnerability, and becoming. Their meaning remains deliberately open, inviting viewers to project their own associations.

Formally, the work follows the visual language of (T)Räume. The arrangement is placed within an architectural frame that can be understood as a room, a shelf, or a stage. Like the interiors of (T)Räume, this constructed space becomes a container for ideas, allowing familiar myths to be questioned and new narratives to emerge.
