Johanna von Oldershausen uses collage as a means to explore the complex, layered nature of human existence. Her work serves as a visual metaphor for the interplay of memory, experience, and external influence. Combining photography, drawing, textiles, and found materials, she constructs densely layered compositions that resist linear narratives and instead open reflective spaces. Her work invites viewers to question familiar perspectives and engage with themes such as identity, time, and the natural world. Recurring motifs like interconnectedness, transformation, and repetition quietly anchor her practice. In her collages, each fragment becomes a portal to the whole—a poetic and multifaceted invitation to introspection.
