In my work I seek to invoke contemplation about our relationship with nature and the intricate interplay between humanity and the environment. For two decades, I've photographed landscapes of my native Iceland, witnessing firsthand the impacts of climate change. This ongoing project is a visual articulation of these changes and our impact on the natural world. 

In the handmade three-dimensional pieces, parts of nature have been hollowed out, and the photographs layered, mimicking physical features of the landscape, with various cuts and shapes evoking different connotations.

Incorporating templates of human biological patterns—such as fingerprints resembling tree rings and retinal veins echoing roots—reinforces the deep connection between us and nature. The missing sections of the photographs invite reflection on the imprints we leave on the world. Layering altered images on black fabric underscores the fragility of nature and the ongoing erosion caused by climate change, while text addressing global warming serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges we face.

Sculptures in the form of tunnel books become narrative devices, drawing viewers into an unfolding scene with each layer revealing more of the landscape. The progression reflects on our relationship with the land and evokes contemplation about the possibilities for restoration and harmony.

Nature's resilience is also a source of inspiration. Drawing from the persistence of life growing from concrete cracks, I cut and layer photographs in a similar pattern. Those pieces signify renewal and hope, a visual testament to nature's remarkable ability to endure. By intertwining branches wrapped with photographs, I weave together elements of the landscape, encapsulating both the devastation wrought upon nature and the potential for proactive human intervention.
