Bodies
In this project, I strive to depict a subtle abstract form that, in its stillness and steadfastness, emerges as an abstraction of the human body. Like a torso, it stretches upwards and downwards, and its gentle curves guide the eye along a tapestry of subtlety and strength.
The pink body, complemented by blue applications, creates a harmonious contrast where the colors interact to enhance the sense of life, movement, and emotional depth.
Abstract
This is a work of exploring the language of form, regarding the parts of the sculpture that gather in the whole part of form, a sculpture without any meaning at all. A one of a kind sculpture.
I worked with blocks and from these blocks I created the form by carving. A soft surface was done by a lot of sanding.
Material: plaster
Size: 25x16 cm, Ø 27 cm
Silence
My intention of this serie was to create sculptures that expresses silence. The silence can be interpreted as a person that is within herself and shut out from the world in silence. I modeled a shape of a head in stoneware and keept the eyes closed for the expression.

Subtle closeness
I worked with this theme of closeness as an composition and a sense of being close fyscially and I explored that even if there is closeness it can be the sense of movement, of getting away. The pieces are made in white stoneware with a smooth and subtle surface for the expression of softness.

Small bodies
I throwned these small bodies and I wanted them to have a sense of human character, a body with a twist and not perfect but still okey.
The small bodies were placed on a round throwned plate of stoneware and finally the whole form was glazed with a mix of white and black glaze and the colour turned out in a subtle blue colour after firing.
