Mooncrater [Mondkrater]

This contemplative sculpture embodies the profound geometry of impact - a meditation on how solitude shapes us, leaving topographies of silence in its wake. Like its lunar namesake, the piece bears witness to collision transformed into permanence, the moment when force becomes form.

The sculpture's concave presence creates a basin of quietude, its curves suggesting both the violence of arrival and the peace that follows. Surfaces appear worn smooth by invisible atmospheres, creating a landscape that holds shadow and light with equal reverence. The work's negative space becomes as vital as its material presence - a hollow that resonates with the muffled echo of ancient impacts.

The piece explores isolation not as emptiness but as purposeful vessel - a chosen solitude that allows silence to pool and overflow. Its form suggests both scar and sanctuary, marking the place where something fell to earth and created, through its absence, a new kind of presence. Light moves across the sculpture like lunar phases, revealing different depths of shadow, different qualities of quiet.

Einsam sind wir,
Nicht um all ein zu sein;
damit ein Aufprall wie ein dumpfer Schall
Unsere Welt mit Stille durchflutet

Mondkrater transforms the aftermath of collision into contemplative object. It stands as monument to necessary distances, to the craters we carry within ourselves, and to the strange flooding silence that follows life's deepest impacts.

For collectors who understand that some voids are meant to remain unfilled, who recognise beauty in the geography of absence - a sculpture that honours both the shock of contact and the eternal quiet that blooms in its wake.
