SOLO EXHIBITION

Utover det synlige

Beyond the Visible
Galleri Alida, Åmot kulturhus, Norway
2–7 June 2026

The exhibition explored human presence, vulnerability and inner landscapes through light, colour and the body. Painting, sculpture, installation and digital visualisation formed a shared field between stillness and expression, wound and transformation.

PAINTING

Bodies, distance and resistance

The painted works move between personal memory and political experience, holding questions of migration, solitude, judgment, bodily pain, objectification and survival.
