The story

Linocut on mulberry paper with a pink imprint of plant material
This linocut carries the idea that well-being can also be understood as source-being—a return to what we fundamentally are.
We might all be “water beings”—connected to our inner flow, our origin, our light and shadow, and to each other through the same living substance.

Water becomes a central metaphor here: it flows through all life, connects all forms, and carries memory and ancient intelligence. It is softness and power at once—nourishing, transforming, cleansing, and endlessly moving. From oceans to rain, from rivers to clouds, water is a continuous cycle of unity.

If we recognize ourselves as water we may begin to understand that separation is an illusion. From this awareness grows compassion, balance, and a deeper sense of peace: within ourselves and in the world around us.

A reminder that well-being begins in connection—within, and with everything that flows through us.

mulberry paper with a pink unique monotype of plants.

Because this paper is handmade, each sheet is unique. The dimensions may vary slightly, and small differences in the edges or surface are part of the character of the paper.

Every sheet passes through the hands of its maker. During the papermaking process, some pulp may extend slightly beyond the mould or remain just within its edges, creating the beautiful, irregular deckled edges that make handmade paper so special.

I deliberately never frame my handmade paper with a mat or passe-partout that hides these edges. To me, they are an essential part of the artwork. They add texture, character and a sense of authenticity — a visible reminder that the paper was made by hand.

This is precisely why I choose handmade paper: to preserve the human touch and allow the traces of the making process to remain visible.
