Raised as an only child, a twin brother on the other side. This special spirit-soul constellation finds expression both in the sign of the zodiac Crocodile and in the birth month of January. In ancient Egypt, the crocodile god Sobekh was worshipped, who resembles our current sign of the zodiac, Capricorn. Sobekh is the guardian at the threshold between death and life, between past and present. Ianus is the Roman god of the beginning and the end. With one face the double looks into the old, with the other into the new.
Every life is a bridge between birth and death. You yourself span the arc from the past into the future. Every beginning has an end, every end a beginning. Everything is one. What is man? Is he the one who crosses the bridge, a guardian at the threshold, a customs officer, or is he the bridge for life itself?
The artworks are inspired by the idea of reconnecting and harmonising the above and the below, spirit and ego, heart and head.
