Based in Stavanger, Norway.
My artistic practice centers on the exploration of the body and the mind, delving into its presence or absence, diseases and dysfunctions, as well as the accompanying anguish and unease in response to daily life.
I investigate the balance between repulsion and beauty, embracing the dynamic interplay between the feminine and masculine energies.
Often, my creative process originates from personal experiences - a feeling, a thought, a memory, an episode, a situation.
Through introspection, I examine the impact these elements have on myself, observing how the body reacts and finding ways to express these profound experiences.
