Her body of works are translated into different mediums such as drawing, photography, installations and sculpture; spanning movements, and cultures. Influences on von Hanau’s practice include nature, feminism, history, the visceral and the overall transcendence of life. Anchored by the themes of time and space, she delves into more conceptual frameworks, acutely, exploring and experimenting with the motifs of beauty, identity, loss, deconstruction and of fragmented moments from juxtaposed to capture, freeze and render visible stories that transcend time and space, and break down the way we see the world around us. Fast gaining recognition on the world stage, von Hanau’s work has been featured in several galleries, at numerous exhibitions, highlighted as public works and included in several prestigious private collections.
