In "RATZ, revenge at twilight zone", 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, revenge at twilight zone" 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. Through his art photography, Thoelen has captured moments from his own life that have brought him closer to his true self. His work is not just a reflection of his technical skills but also of his personal journey of self-discovery and growth. "I believe that the path we tread can only be made by ourselves," says Thoelen. "Every choice we make, every experience we have, contributes to the unique journey that shapes our lives." His 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. It's about his capacity to forge a deep, meaningful connection with the viewer, allowing them to see themselves and the world around them in a new light. In a few days the BTS video will be available as well! Thank you, and celebrate life!
