We are friends. Photography is our passion and what we do for living. Our both life rhythms could not be more differently than he is at the moment, and, nevertheless, we want to get involved in the experiment of a common photo Collaboration and see what passed.
The only arrangement we have is: Horizontal format and daily. There is no discussion about the choice which is only met by everybody.

We are very much tensely what will develop and whether our ability in the non-verbal communication can also function here.

One year ago I made this
Ancestors Pot

Such an Ancestors’s pot usually is made of ceramics and has a lid.

I am a textile artist.
For that reason my ancestors’ pot will not be made of ceramics but from textile materials.
Fabric as a symbol for woven things of time is really matching the theme perfectly.
And I wrote a Tutorial, a how-to-do for this - here

To day I was thinking about writing down Goals for this year

you know, we do this always during this days if a new year starts

..however, this time I remembered my Ancestors’s pot and thought, I do it, I write down 10 of my most important wishes and hand over them to this pot.

And know I'll not longer think about and let my Ancestors’s do her work !
