This series is very close to my heart. It has been with me for many years, inspiring me again and again. Trees, and especially their branches, have always caught my eye. Over time I also discovered that the shape of the plate can interact with the motif, and this became a playful part of my work. You can see this connection in my other series as well.

I love bringing the motif and the form together so that they almost “dance” with each other. They support one another, blend, and sometimes turn the familiar into something new. When I change or rearrange the motif, it can open up a completely different point of view, almost like discovering the work for the first time.

Trees in late autumn or winter especially fascinate me. Their bare branches look like drawings against the sky—simple, honest lines full of movement. Sometimes I take a tree and mirror it, turning it into a new creature with its own character. I enjoy playing with these shapes and recreating them in new ways.

It feels as if there are endless possibilities in this subject. Every tree, every line, every rearrangement offers a new surprise. That is why it never becomes boring for me. Working with these motifs is like having a quiet conversation with nature, again and again—always familiar, but always new.
