Take Me to the Grove
June 14–26, 2025, Solo exhibition at wasserwasser³
Take Me to the Grove is envisaged as an encounter on the level of poetry. The three exhibited graphic series deal with the idea of plant presence and its poetic power that consciously and subconsciously imbues our existence. Etchings, screenprints and woodcuts, each in a different format and color palette, create a space for encounters with more-than-human geographies. The exhibition creates a kind of habitat made up of different, but related plants, works and their interweavings.
Garden Times (as part of Dunjiva Kollektiv)

June 8, 2025, 11–15, Drawing workshop as part of Volle Blüte – Literarische Spaziergänge at the Botanical Garden in Vienna.
Garden Times is a series of “Drawing and Reading Clubs” held in various gardens, urban landscapes and art spaces related to nature. The focus is on communicating biodiversity through artistic approaches and defining the garden as a space, atmosphere and way of thinking. In the Drawing Clubs, drawing becomes an immediate poetic gesture that involves the cultivation of a deep-seated awareness of plant life and approaches interrelational habitats. Garden Times is an investigation into the potential of the garden to influence our perception and extend it towards plants and other more-than-human actors.

Time Is a Sequence of Flowers
Time Is a Sequence of Flowers is an exploration of the seasons of the living world, different color systems and the poetic potential of color naming. It focuses on strengthening the connection with natural transition and metamorphic processes that can still be felt in Central Europe under the current climatic conditions. Color palettes and combinations are extracted from diary-like, long-exposure cell phone photographs of plants, arranged by season. The names of the individual colors are compared with historical color systems and a compilation of these often very poetic designations will be presented in an exhibition and an accompanying publication in September 2025.
Good Demons Only/Samo dobri demoni
Good Demons Only intertwines human experience with other forms of life that shape our perception of what we refer to as nature. It delves into the understanding of our existence as part of the world – which is, in the book of poems, understood as an environment and multi-species community. Chance encounters and a kind of perceptive openness are essential for the closeness and intimacy of the atmosphere in the poems, in which the human experience of encountering plants and animals is merged into linguistic forms of being. Language is thus allowed to grow beyond the limits of solitary existence and offer a vision of a more powerful reality that is only possible in connection with (an)other life. An excerpt from the collection was published in German in March 2025 in the journal “Literatur und Kritik” (Salzburg, Austria). Samo dobri demoni will be published in 2026 by HDP (Croatian Writers’ Society) in Zagreb, Croatia.
