About Sabse
Hi, I’m Sabrina, an artist, writer and astronomy lover from Northern Germany. I’m a media designer, which basically means: I shape things into something people can see, read, feel or understand.
This page is a glimpse into how my love for the night sky, visual storytelling and conscious creativity all connect.
A creative way of seeing
Creativity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I sketched teddy bears, drew manga characters, made digital collages and tried charcoal portraits long before I ever called myself an artist.
But for many years, I also compared myself to people who seemed much better than me. I loved beautiful sketchbooks, paintings and art journals from a distance, but often didn’t dare to start myself. Somehow I thought my art had to be “good enough” before it was allowed to exist.
It took me a long time to learn that creativity does not work that way. Art does not have to be perfect to begin with. It needs space, curiosity and permission to evolve. That shift changed a lot for me.
Today, creativity is no longer limited to one medium. Sometimes it is a layout, a logo or a digital illustration. Sometimes it is a poem, a painting, an art journal page, a story scene or even a garden bed slowly turning into a tiny living composition. Different materials, same instinct: noticing a feeling, an idea or a small spark of curiosity — and helping it become visible.
Where the night sky comes in
The night sky has always been one of the places that brings me back to that instinct. It reminds me to slow down, look closer and make room for wonder. That feeling finds its way into my astronomy notes, astrophotography, space-inspired art and writing, sometimes directly, sometimes quietly in the background.
Astrofrüchtchen is my place for all of that: a growing creative archive for stargazing, astrophotography, space-inspired art, art journals, paintings, story fragments and odd little ideas from my corner of the cosmos.
Living deliberately
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
to front only the essential facts of life,
and see if I could not learn what it had to teach,
and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
One sentence that has stayed with me for years is Henry David Thoreau’s idea of living deliberately.
For me, that does not mean turning life into a perfectly optimized project or pretending to be above everyday chaos. It means noticing more. Choosing more consciously. Making space for creativity, quiet, curiosity and the things that still feel meaningful when life gets loud.
That spirit is part of Astrofrüchtchen too. Not always loudly, not always directly, but underneath it all: the wish to notice more, choose more consciously and make space for what feels meaningful.
If this place inspires someone to follow a strange little dream, create more freely or build a life that feels less like a hamster wheel and more like their own, I would be very happy with that.
Why “Astrofrüchtchen”?
The name started as a small joke from my early astronomy days. “Früchtchen” is a cheeky German word for someone a little mischievous and not too fond of following rules. Which, honestly, fit me rather well. Since it also means “little fruit”, it eventually became Astrofrüchtchen: a strange little mix of astronomy, personality and pineapple-shaped chaos.
Because German umlauts are not exactly internet-friendly, you may also find me as astrofruechtchen or astrofruechtle on different platforms.
What I hope you’ll find here
I hope this place makes you want to look up more often, create a little more freely and follow the odd ideas that refuse to leave you alone.
Whether you are here for astrophotography, space-inspired art, poems, fantasy fragments or simply a quiet corner of the internet with a love for the night sky: welcome.
Fun facts about me:
- Sometimes my imagination runs wild and ordinary scenes turn into strange little paintings. Like two people at a telescope meeting who somehow ended up as mushrooms in my journal 😆
- A sin of my youth was watching Sailor Moon and I still love it.
- I’m very good at turning “I’ll just fix this one thing” into a full structural redesign. Unfortunately.
- In the right company, I’m not the chaotic one – but I also don’t interfere when things escalate.
- My humor sometimes gets dark enough that it probably needs its own red-light mode.
- I use AI as a creative sparring partner, archive goblin and occasional emergency brake when my ideas start growing extra limbs.
