I started this text in February 2023, when I moved away from Berlin to
start a new life in Paris. I had archived my dreams over the past years and
wanted to write a text about them. It turned into an ongoing process of the
past years of suicidal depression and dissociation, dreams and therapy, language and
lies, sisterhood, brotherhood, depression, the joy of life, love,
metaphorical and bodily deaths.
On June 8th of 2023 my love, my twin soul, the other Zicklein, referred to
in this text as „partner“, tragically took his life.
I have made it to the other side, also thanks to him, so with this work I
want to pay tribute and actively work through the terrifying depths of
grief’s abyss.
The print series consists of visualizations of the dreams discussed in the aforementioned text, that I made in collaboration with A.I., serving as our collective subconscious.

In the next weeks, months, years I will continue to write and update this
pdf as well as my dream archive regularly.
