Flourishing is an artistic research project initiated by Alexandra Reill in the spring of 2026. It focuses on examining recent developments in flourishing research and exploring how life can flourish on Earth today, as well as what is needed to guide it toward a flourishing future. The topic of flourishing, with its diverse and often mutually or multidirectionally influencing components, can only be considered as a meta-question.

Stumbling Waters
Under the meta-theme of the transience of phenomena, the photo series Stumbling Waters refers to manifestations of destruction, whether in nature or in a metaphorical reference to global social developments that transform a peaceful flow of life into turbulent upheavals; which have consequences, leave traces and thus change a “world;” even if there are no phases of destruction that are not also subject to transience.
