The constrast between the materials chosen for the external and internal parts of his sculptures is Dietrich-Mohr’s recurring theme.

Apart from the sculptures where these two elements contrast greatly, there are works made up of strata which are architecturally piled up and others which dissolve into alveoles. Here the light not only plays on the differently structured surfaces, but also penetrates through many openings into the interior, thus giving the sculptures their very particular transparency.

Dietrich-Mohr leads the viewer into a universe that makes him feel physically, like an intense haptic sensation, various states in life such as to aspire, to feel well surrounded, to be enlightened, to feel protected, and to accumulate strata of experience which are in fact the fundamental states that forge a human being.
