Portfolio of selected works from Sarah

I keep my head bowed, a small smile playing on my lips. Inside me are years of struggle, unseen by anyone. I have raised my voice when injustice struck me and my community. I have learned to be quietly strong, even when the world often only sees my vulnerability. My story is marked by courage—the courage to keep going, even when the burden is heavy. This smile is my silent rebellion, my promise to myself never to give up and to walk my path with dignity.

You shaped my life. You were by my side for a long time. You supported me when my life was especially difficult.
The process of drawing was a way to connect , when I couldn’t see you. And at the same time, a way of saying goodbye. I carry you in my heart. You are the courage within me to create my art and express myself through it. I wish we could walk this path together. Portrait of the artist Ingrid Guenther, my forever beloved stepmother.

Pencil drawing on paper, 24×19 cm

It is the strength that arises from deep despair. The liberating feeling of breaking free from everything that burdens and holds you back. With powerful wingbeats, shattering your own limitations and soaring into the sky. Experiencing your own worth, embracing life anew, and rising from the ashes as a stronger being. The phoenix symbolizes rebirth, transformation, and the unwavering ability to begin anew after every crisis. This image is a sign of hope and encouragement, reminding us that in every end lies a new beginning.
