Restaurant Jagglerwirt Ramingstein : “ Wurzeln in der Wüste“ (“Roots in the desert“), photo exhibition, 2008

Amidst my preoccupation with the concept of “home” I have the chance to take part in a desert trip through the western oases of Egypt. The photos taken there turn out to be an answer to some of my most urgent questions, for what I have captured this time are the shapes of roots and shrubs lying loosely in the sand as if growing above ground; a symbolic image that can dissolve my fears of being stuck:

“…roots emerging courageously from the ground … and those having their wings within”.
