For me, the start of a new year is less an occasion for announcements than a moment for taking stock. This text is not intended to provide an outlook in terms of dates or results, but rather to describe the framework within which my work will take place in 2026. It is about my working methods, my priorities, and the decisions I make—even if they are not immediately apparent.
Summer is slowly coming to an end, the light is changing, the days are becoming quieter. Between the sea, reflection, and new beginnings, space emerges for stories – a good moment to continue projects and plan new paths.
There are stories that arise from an image, a sentence or a character. And there are stories that begin as an intention – for example, as an attempt to create a world, which poses a certain question. Triarchia belongs to the second category.
The world of Triarchia is a place of balance, strict order and deep social division. Three great spheres characterize this system, each with its own laws, values and duties. For centuries, they have existed in a fragile peace that is only maintained by adherence to the “Old Rules”. But the “Old Rules” enforce slavery, bondage and separation from nature and progress. And beneath the surface, conflicts simmer, and not everyone submits to their predetermined fate.
