Jewish girl, Diptych, 2016

An innocent girl looks into a room where a chair is waiting for her. The setting is one of abandonment and melancholy with a number and even a hint of a swastika on the wall. How to cope with the burden of a tragic history? With the Jewish girl portraits I want to explore the contrasts between beauty and transience on the one hand and atrocities of deportation and extermination on the other.
