Photos with poems
Photography captures a moment; a short poem can reveal its soul. When image and verse meet, a new story emerges – one with deeper meaning, unexpected layers, and subtle, hidden connections.
The key to this union was discovered in the form of so‑called vertical poetry. This way of writing fits naturally with the visual world and opens up space for quiet reflection, surprise, and emotion. It has become a form of expression that feels completely authentic – and remains a constant source of fascination.
Preparation
Who will come
remains to be seen,
there will be a chime
of what is yet unknown,
everything will be laid down,
only on the table
the gaze rested on.

Imperfection
Crowns in the swirl of the wind,
I am lost,
I do not see
what I am meant to see,
imperfection of perception,
blindness
leaning on a white cane,
I kneel down to the ground,
with my head
in my hands,
sunk
at the crossroads
of all senses.
