Elina Kostabi exhibition “Ekki hugsa”

We are used to associating ourselves with something – our home, work or at least our homeland. For Elina Kostab’s photo story “ekki hugsa”, the most important thing is the immediate experience and living in the moment. For them, every day is new, a journey with new opportunities and discoveries. They do not focus too much on tomorrow and do not make far-reaching plans.

The Icelandic expression ekki hugsa, known throughout Scandinavia, means just letting go of being creative.

Sydne and Herman prefer to remain free in their choices. They value comfort and material well-being more than mental and physical independence, and this may have been one of the reasons why their lives took different paths at one point. They have three wonderful children, whom they raise with their new partners and with whom they travel the world. New relationships have brought passion into their lives without breaking old ties, and friendship and love are shared.
