The ceramic sculpture Cadavre Érigé is a collaborative piece by Leevke Succow and Mathilda Augart, born out of a playful yet serious dialogue about relationship and artistic collaboration. Inspired by the surrealist drawing game "Cadavre Exquis" the two artists independently shaped three ceramic elements of a columnar structure.

Only in the final assembly does the connection of these individual parts reveal itself as a new, unexpected whole - a fragmented, yet coherent unity.

“Ausschlag” is one of three sculptures created for my diploma, exploring universal and natural laws. The work is inspired by the hermetic principle of rhythm, which can be observed both in nature-such as tides or moon cycles-and within the human mind, in the constant swing of emotions. Nothing remains static; opposites are simply two sides of the same phenomenon. The pendulum became a central symbol for this idea, embodying the perpetual movement between poles. The sculpture’s form draws from fractal geometry, reflecting the repeating patterns of growth and structure that recur throughout nature.

The Ouroboros – the serpent that bites its own tail. An ancient symbol of life, death, and rebirth.

This piece carries five teardrops, dedicated to five beloved beings who left the physical world. In recent years, I’ve come to know the weight of grief and the rawness of losing loved ones. This work holds the paradox: the beauty of the natural life cycle, but also the brutality and pain that come with it.

Nachhall is the second sculpture in my series exploring seven universal principles, focusing on the law of cause and effect. The form is inspired by baptismal fonts, drawn to the idea of water as a carrier of meaning. A dripping mechanism releases single drops at regular intervals, while a spotlight projects the resulting ripples as caustics onto the wall. Our lives today are the effect of a long chain of causes stretching back through generations. Every experience creates ripples that extend far into the future, affecting our own lives and others in ways we may never know. The sculpture's form features root-like veins branching across its surface, mirroring the fractal way of growth in nature, seen in trees, veins, dried of river beds,... the list could go on. shown as part of our Diploma graduation show: in guter Gesellschaft, at Wilhelmhallen, July 2025
