An artist´s life.” The stories of the people behind the art #27 Fabian Perfler

“After finishing high school in Innsbruck, Austria, I moved to Germany to connect with other people. I worked for four years as a photographic assistant to several fashion photographers, which allowed me to fund my own projects, such as traveling and collecting cameras. In 2013, I experienced a mental breakdown for reasons still unknown. As a result, I was unable to work properly for years and had to undergo rehabilitation to find my way back.”

Über den Fluss und in die Wälder

Ich dachte darüber nach, wie wir eine Post gesucht hatten, um den Brief abzuschicken und sie anrief und mir gratulierte und ich nicht wusste, ob sie ihn schon bekommen hatte und still war, zum ersten mal und zum Zweiten, als sie mich nochmal treffen wollte und ich ihr sagte, dass es jetzt nun vorbei sei und sie nochmal fragte, ob ich mir sicher sei und ich sagte, ja. Natürlich möchte man der, die man lange geliebt hat, gerne helfen, aber mit dem, was sie bräuchte, würde man sich aufgeben.

The Unseen Hand

When something is truly meant for you, it won’t trigger chaos in your mind or feed your overthinking. Instead, it will feel like a deep breath, like finally finding your footing after wandering for too long. It won’t leave you questioning every move, swaying between certainty one moment and confusion the next.

The Fever of the Soul

Do not allow anyone to convince you that it is peculiar, this deep intensity with which you feel. They may argue that such a path is fraught with perils, that it exposes you to wounds sharper than most would dare endure. But tell me, is this not the very essence of living? Is this not what it means to truly be alive, to surrender oneself completely to the full, unrestrained force of emotion?

Embracing Change

A curious paradox lies at the heart of life’s journey. We yearn for stability, for the comforting rhythm of the familiar. But in reality, life is a constant flow of change. At times, it whispers like a zephyr through the leaves, a gentle nudge urging us forward. But there are moments when it erupts into a tempestuous storm, tossing our carefully laid plans into disarray.

Eight Little Words

When I was younger, I voiced my opinions freely and without much thought. That was until my grandmother said to me sternly, “Little girls should be seen and not heard,” in a tone that struck a chord. I absorbed the chill of her kitchen’s marble floors and the iciness of the stainless steel fixtures. Her stark white cabinets in her pristine kitchen stood tall, concealing their contents like secrets. It was clear she wanted me to do the same, so I did.

Not Every Day: A Lesson in Acceptance

ot every day is a “bad bitch” day, and perhaps, therein lies one of life’s most profound lessons: Learning to accept it, and not always expecting it, is key. I find myself dancing around my room to my loud, favorite music, feeling incredibly creative and productive. In those moments, I’m so filled with joy I could kiss anyone, offer the world a big, warm hug.

Reflecting on Time: A Lesson in Humility and Kindness

I recently read that when a bird is alive, it eats ants, but when it dies, the ants eat the bird. Circumstances can change at any time, and time will always work against you in the end. In life, you should therefore focus less on always being the strongest, the best, the most successful, because time is the greater force. The essence lies in being more humble, being grateful, and embodying compassion.

A Point-and-Shoot Summer

“Strolling through the streets of Montpellier, Barcelona, Paris and Amsterdam, my best friend and I found ourselves admiring the different and unique architecture of each city. Observing the locals and enjoying our time we had in each city, we discovered little coffeeshops, cute corners and lots of amazing views.

Moon Kyu Lee’s Story of Hope, Art, and Healing

Sharing her journey publicly became a source of strength, not just for Moon but for the many who found solace in her words and saw a reflection of their own struggles in her story.

Through her eyes, we are reminded of the power of creativity to transform pain into beauty, offering a sense of hope and healing, and deeply impacting others.
