We need to Dream
2023 Villa Viva, Hamburg

We need to dream – sometimes really, really big. And then crazy things happen. I had the honor of creating a mural in the stairwell of Viva con Agua's Villa Viva – a place where artists from all over the world have left their mark on every floor. The story of Villa Viva began with a small spark of possibility, big dreams, and visions. That's exactly the feeling I wanted to capture in my mural and leave in this special place. As a child, I often dreamed of being Batman or Spiderman. "That's impossible" or "That's unrealistic" didn't exist in my world – it was simply about playing, about getting lost in daydreams, and about experiencing things. Even artistically, children's drawings hold something magical for me: no limits, no right or wrong, no "wrong colors." This feeling of freedom and playfulness accompanied me throughout the creation process – and that's precisely what I wanted to make visible.
