TIME - The Blue Hour
The blue hour describes the period in which the sun has already set, shortly after the golden hour, but also shortly before the sun rises. During this time, the light has a magical blue color.
Time is like emptiness; it cannot be represented directly. It has something subjective, is complex and changeable, it is intangible.
If you look at time from the perspective of repetition, the sky serves as orientation: the sun for the daily cycle, the moon for longer phases and the stars for spatial orientation and at the same time for longer periods of time.
Part of my work shows these celestial bodies: the sun appears as a flickering yellow circle, the moon in its changing phases and the stars appear in multifaceted shapes.
All representations are based on the circle as the basic form.
By being able to measure time using the celestial bodies, a framework was created that gave the whole thing regularity, the calendar.
The day brooches represent periods of time and depict the different phases of life as a gradually unfolding process.
At the beginning, four colored dots appear in a white rectangle, each in its own position. Over time, the dots approach each other, grow, merge, rotate, cross the frame, mix and develop increasing complexity. The circle forms the basis of this process and at the same time symbolizes an endless cycle of playing, developing, learning, building and reflecting. The initially small, manageable and orderly events become increasingly complex, interwoven and overlapping, reflecting both the play and the dynamics of life.
Time as a process.
