About Me
There’s a quiet kind of journey that’s shaped both me and my work.
Growing up in Sweden, I was surrounded by stillness — woods, silence, weather that invited you inward. I was drawn to the kinds of stories where someone wandered through the forest, not always knowing what they were looking for. Those images stayed with me — not just the landscapes, but the feeling of being on the edge of something.
As a child, I wasn’t the type to get lost in books or imaginary play. I was more focused on how things felt. I read the room, stayed small, avoided conflict. I didn’t want to stir things up — I just wanted to be liked, to not take up too much space.
And I think I carried all of that with me.
That’s how my sculptures began: not with big statements, but with a need to give shape to what I hadn’t yet found the words for. I work with discarded paper and cardboard — fragile, imperfect materials — shaping them by hand into wall-mounted pieces that hold emotional tension, restraint and presence. The process is slow and intuitive, rooted in care — both for what I feel and for what I use.
There’s an eco-consciousness that runs quietly through my practice. I work with what’s already here, creating without waste where I can, and allowing the imperfections of the material to remain part of the story.
I’m drawn to visual storytelling — especially the language of film: shadow, stillness, odd characters that appear and disappear. My work carries some of that cinematic atmosphere — not dramatic, but quietly charged. Imperfect, but intentional.
Each piece is part of a larger emotional landscape.
A visual story.
One you’re invited to step into and find your own way through.
