#existential-crisis

I did not learn much about mechanical engineering at TUM due to my poor German skills. I ended up spending most of my time chatting with students from a wide range of disciplines. I was fascinated by the conversations about history, politics, law, art, literature, and philosophy. Because I knew almost nothing about these subjects, I felt like a child listening to thrilling tales of discovery in a new world. And like a child, I took those stories seriously.

In the 21st century, despite living in a golden age of information and connection, many experience a growing crisis of purpose and an overwhelming sense of loneliness.

Demoralization is a complex experience differing from depression or hopelessness, incorporating psychological, social, and existential components that can significantly impact quality of life.

As my method of work is all about intertwining physical with digital, I decided to literally build physical models that convey synthetic thoughts modeling my current state of mind.

"My body was telling me to sit down. It was telling me, 'you have nothing else to say.'"
