The works in this series open thresholds beyond the visible:
fields of energy in which the individual and the universal dissolve into one another.
Visual landscapes of transformation.

Essential Creation
Lines, colours, surfaces and shapes - a geometric world in which everything is connected to everything else. In her work, Anka Manshusen not only shows connections, but she lets us guess what lies behind the things we grasp with our senses. As in her work as a photographer, she dedicates her drawings to the theme of “Verschmelzung” (everything melting into everything else) and succeeds in expressing feelings into form. Photos and drawings, a delicate blossom and strict geometry, a black background and bright colors - in Anka Manshusens works these elements do not exclude each other. On the contrary, she unites apparent opposites and combines contrasts into a profound, universal feeling. Through abstract means, Manshusen clarifies the interconnectedness of everything. With utmost dedication to the creation process and trust in her intuition, the artist creates images with almost supernatural Quatlity. In her geometries, she combines frequencies and vibrations into forms that unite what holds our world together. Deep sensation becomes “essential creation”.

Home & Places
What does it mean to be “at home”? Home is not a physical place, but a return to oneself. These works make this inner space perceptible.
Becoming
What lies beyond ideas about ourselves? Becoming is not a state, but a continuous process — a becoming beyond fixed forms. These works open a space in which becoming can be experienced.
