"May I Introduce Myself?" Mantelmöwe (larus marinus) / great black backed gull with coat The elegant „Mantelmöwe“ seagull stands on the beach, clad in a high-quality trench coat.

The series explores the boundaries between animal and human, inviting viewers to see the world through new eyes. Each image presents an animal that, through the use of compound words from the German language, takes on a completely new personality and presents itself in a surprising new environment. As the compounds of the animal designations are established terms in the German language, and the image irony does not readily translate into other languages, the addition of their Latin animal designations and their English translations enables international access. "May I Introduce Myself?" invites viewers to see the world through new eyes and discover the diversity and creativity in the animal kingdom. Each image tells a unique story and encourages reflection on the significance of identity, self-expression, and the connection between humans and animals.
