In autum 2013, I had an exhibition in Nord Atlantens Brygge in Copenhagen. This exhibtion is based upon my inner emotions when returning to the Faroe Islands after many years abroad:
It all comes back to where I come from. The Faroe Islands. I have moved back to these islands recently. After many years abroad. I have come back to the rough landscape. To a place where I suddenly feel different. But I also remember.
I once was like the seabird. I could fly away and come back. Now I am here. Feel like the I am suddenly stuck. You get caught. Transformed into a piece of meat. I know it sounds harsh. But moving back to these islands after a long journey in “the other world”, has set me back with the feeling of loosing my wings. I am trying to grow them back.
The stones are every where here. Been here for a long time. Looks like it has never been different. Occasionally something flies through the air. Finds a crack. Starts to grow. It is all so random. It is all telling me the about the will to grow. To stay. To become. I cling on to the believe that I am like that little something that flies through the air and finds the will to grow.
