In the organizer's words:

The exhibition "In the mirror of your face" is an examination of one's own being. It invites visitors to engage with the various facets of the self and to adopt and accept different perspectives on their own ego.

The title line "In the mirror of your face you are more than just the mirror of your face" illustrates the core idea of the exhibition. Every person is more than just the visible "face" and is made up of a combination of experiences, interests and thoughts. These do not always coincide, perhaps even contradict each other, but together they form our own being. These different facets and versions cannot be summarized in a single picture, but live from the interplay of their individual parts. This aspect of the exhibition is reflected in the use of different materials, media and styles. The exhibition is therefore not limited to painting, but also shows photographic works and literary fragments.

Visually, the focus is on abstract faces in a variety of forms and styles. Faces are always a kind of image or mirror, whether realistic or fictitious. Through abstraction and the play of colors, however, emotions and feelings come to the fore. In this way, the works can be interpreted individually and offer space for one's own thoughts. The photographic works provide a contrast and draw attention to unusual perspectives and angles that often go unnoticed. Literary fragments provide additional insight into the artist's inner life and emotional world.

The exhibition deliberately breaks away from a classic single hanging and instead grows organically out of the material during the installation. In doing so, she orients herself individually to the works and their interplay. This results in collages and clusters that create an intimate and inviting atmosphere - not a sterile white cube, but a cozy space that is more reminiscent of a living room than a gallery. This is intended to invite people to linger and offer time and space for exchange and reflection.

In this way, art can be experienced directly, becomes part of everyday life and thus leads to a lasting visit to the exhibition. The gallery, located in the middle of the Kungerkiez and in its dual function as a district center, offers the perfect starting point for this. Here, art is right in the neighborhood, in everyday life and equally accessible to everyone.
