The overall starting point for my exhibition is the woman’s role in society seen in a slightly misty mythological, psychological and archaeological light. The woman has been mythic throughout time, especially for the other sex. She has been tied to expectations and strict demands on self-restraint and appearance have been made. The exhibition title can be read as being trapped in itself, in its own mind, in its consciousness. To let something go too far and make a distance both psychologically and in digital life. When the ego is the main focus, a tunnel vision can occur and the individual who is at the center is isolated. Primarily we are herdsmen and have a natural need to see ourselves in the context of others. The exhibition will be composed of partly abstract, partly concrete stories presented through drawings in various formats, sculptures, textiles, video and sound.
