Territory

Territory - an environment, where one grows, adapts and belongs. The border between the known and the unknown. All these various experiences gathered by a person living in a specific region of the world, a particular territory, shape them unconsciously. In this collection in search for the Nordic identity, Scandinavian traditional fishery clothing and contemporary art elements coexist and give us an insight into two different areas - historical and modern.
Inspired by “Cloud Illusion” an artwork of a Danish artist, Astrid Krogh, I have used elements strongly sensitive to light. Light is integrated in the work as a material as such, which reveals the surface and changes its nature. The intensity of the reflection will change based on the environment. Thus, the structural surface unveils an unlimited space meant to unleash creativity for further associations and meanings for the collection.
