Vital functions are usually listened to with a stethoscope, the lifelines, the heart and the lungs. What is the diagnosis? How should one deal with the situation in the world? With despair, fear or with humor? My work approaches the challenges ambivalently, but also with a wink. This stethoscope can simply be jewelry. The answer is in the eye of the beholder.
