I choose those name because they are titles of the Greek goddess Hecate. I feel somehow connected to that myth: Not only am I named after her, but I feel that the name fits: She is a goddess associated with transitions, passages and crossroads; a guardian between the worlds. Of course she is also the goddess of witches and stuff, but that's not what I am fascinated about. I am fascinated about the idea of crossroads and switching between "worlds". I am not talking about life and the afterlife. I am more concerned with the many kinds of worlds that surround us, uniting in one city sometimes, or at least within reach via planes or trains. I come from a lower middle-class family in a village. I travel to several countries afterwards - staying in some of them for months or years. Influenced by that experiences I started to study the most obvious: socio-cultural anthropology. Studying made me stay most of the year at one place - having mainly theoretical contact with other cultures, other values, other world views. But I found out that there are many cities within the city I life. So I spend my time between university and the quarter I life - a quarter with many immigrants that is seen by there inhabitants something like a ghetto. Here I get some strange mixture of national mainstream, the cultures of the guys living here and some kind of ghetto life style. Besides that I try to keep contact with my family and my friends from the village where I grew up and the friends I made traveling. All that adds up to a very fascinating, very disturbing mosaic, which I love and what hits me at the same time. Here I try to make sense out of it. I try to figure out what is some kind of universal rationality or moral, what is special to the worlds I move and what is mainly my point of view, my way of living. In all that I feel like Alice in Wonderland: something between astonished, confused and excited....
