In "RATZ", Thoelen encapsulates his own life experiences into an image that invites viewers to contemplate the meaning of choices and the paths we tread. "Life is what you make of it," says Thoelen, and this idea forms the core of his artistic vision. It's noteworthy that "RATZ" was captured in a single shot, with each actor present in the scene actually being present in the meticulously crafted set, which Thoelen personally designed and built over months. From casting to directing, set construction to decoration, every aspect of the scene was meticulously crafted by Thoelen's hand.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
I encapsulate my own life experiences into an image that invites viewers to contemplate the meaning of choices and the paths we tread. Life is what you make of it, this idea forms the core of my artistic vision. It's noteworthy that all my artworks are captured in a single shot, with each actor present in the scene actually being present in the meticulously crafted set, which I've personally designed and built over months. From casting to directing, set construction to decoration, every aspect of the scene was meticulously crafted by myself. This work is not just a reflection of my technical skills but also of my personal journey of self-discovery and growth. I believe that the path we tread can only be made by ourselves. My art serves as a reminder that life is an adventure, full of opportunities for self-expression and personal growth. It reflects the depth of the human experience, the ability to capture and convey emotions, stories, and the complexity of human experiences. Thank you, and celebrate life!
