analog collage: alina herzau / 2025, germany

project: Frauen machen Druck – Kunstblüten. Kreative Werkstatt Dresden e.V.

input:output highlights the multifaceted nature of female identity – an identity shaped by encounters, inspiration and the shared experiences between women. The collage technique symbolizes how different perspectives and influences merge into a growing, evolving silhouette. Two aspects are central: input and output. Input reflects the shaping forces we receive from other women – support, encouragement and solidarity. The interlocking hands represent this sense of connection. Output expresses what we pass on to others: to women around us, to our communities and to future generations. Elements extending from the silhouette illustrate this ongoing influence.

At the heart of the work is the responsibility women carry for one another and the strength that emerges from these relationships. Every interaction leaves an imprint – shaping who we are and what we bring into the world.
