About

This website is about finding authentic self expression. I write about my process of uncovering and unveiling what it means to be human to me. I share thought processes, ideas, projects and likewise to make my findings available to you.

For 35 years I struggled – knowing deep down that I wanted to do arts and express myself in that way but never found the courage to actually „go for it“. All of societies atrocities so far prevented me. Until one day I finally grew out of my shell and decided to leave that cage.

It came to me shortly before my 36th Birthday. I was in a financially bad situation due to overdue payments from many clients. The years before that, I had worked hard on my law firm, leaving aside a lot of life’s other sides. So when it all came cracking down, at first there was an immense fear emerging: What will people think? Then I realized something important. The very same question was the answer to why the law firm came to existence in the first place.

Because I learned that you’re not good enough or worthy if you do not have this kind of education, that kind of social status. Must have picked that up on the way somewhere – as most of us seem to do. But as soon as you’re aware of it you realize how dumb that actually is.

In the beginning of 2025, I decided to focus on exploring my most inner thoughts and desires, to find my truth. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, honesty, truth, love, and fulfillment. Since then, a lot of old programmed thought-patterns later, I finally give way to more free forms of self-expression again.

„Again“ because I believe all of us humans are born free. We are free by design. At least that’s my experience as a father who saw his son growing up next to him recently.

So one can not actually learn to be free, one can only remember it. One learns to be attached, caged and limited and then wishes to revert the process.

But it’s worth it – as there is nothing more enjoyable, more fulfilling, more exciting than living a full fledged live as free as possible!

From my heart to yours
