My artistic practice is inherently seasonal, echoing the cycles of nature in Iceland. I embark on a journey of discovery, collecting local materials that not only fuel my creative endeavors but also serve as a profound exploration of the diverse materials that our homeland offers. Through this process, I strive to uncover the vastness of Iceland's material palette, contributing to a deeper understanding of our connection to the land.
