„DER KLAGLING“ - tufted wool sculpture


Klaglings are beings that embody grief or take it on - not necessarily in pain, but perhaps even healing. Klaglings are “grief recyclers.”

This sculpture is part of my journey back into the analog world—
a place where things are allowed to stay.
Where time stretches, traces remain, and real connection is possible.
The digital world moves fast, leaving little room for depth;
so much is fleeting, polished, optimized.
In working with textiles, I’ve found the opposite:
a tactile home, a space that embraces imperfection.

The Klagling stands for this space - quiet, soft, receptive.
It’s a reminder that it’s okay to feel.
And that you don’t have to carry everything alone.
