The series „Eicoph.“, deals with the relationship between man and nature.

Superficially beautiful nature photographs show human traces only at second glance.

Forming and conquering nature has become a daily routine.

Fire, that burned all trees in the front but is still raging in the background, visible only through long exposure,

or a mountain in Hong Kong, that was poured with concrete to consolidate the earth, the existing trees banned

in bizarre cut-out holes. Trees peeping out of the concrete layer.

You can see the subtle remains of nature within a man made environment.

You never see people just hints, signs, shadows of their presence.
