Junge Kunst Wolfsburg - mixed! (15.12.2024 - 10.01.2025)

No More Balloons is a four-part photographic series that explores the burden of trauma and painful memories, symbolized by red balloons. Divided into two chapters, the first part (images by the lake) visualizes a state of emotional overwhelm and loss of control. The portrayed character appears to be manipulated and steered by the weight of these unresolved experiences.

In contrast, the second part (images in the snow) represents a process of confrontation and acceptance. Through engaging with these inner struggles, the figure gradually regains a sense of autonomy - acknowledging the trauma as part of themselves, rather than something that defines them.
