The island. 38x55cm acrylic on wood. Tjørnuvík 2019
It´s 2025 . This island rises out steeply from the ocean and appears to be a monument. It is actually an entity that is alive and pulsing inside. A whole organism that stands as a lighthouse for the sailors. It shines its light from within, attracting the fishermen to it´s steep land. A land of no trees where the homes are the only element with roots. They are deeply woven into the pulsing ground feeding the houses with heat and light to keep the sailors warm.
The fish that are in the ocean are very precious now. This generation of fish create oxygen for the land to absorb. The sailors who live in a land of no trees have the important task to liberate this oxygen into the air while fishing. Once again, the ecosystem has found a way to compensate what could be an imbalance.
and some images of the process it went through...
