Transformation 2018
Overfishing is threatening the sensitive ecosystem of the ocean. These ceramic plates remind us as consumers to ask the right questions. In order to save the oceans we have to make an active choice in what we eat. The project was based on the Beijer Institute's research on sustainable oceans and seafood production.
Exhibited at Svenskt Tenn in January 2018, Stockholm.
5/8 Strong Women
Exam Project 2019
What does it mean to be a ”strong woman”? Which women do we describe as “strong women”?
With a visual expression of strength this project presents an interpretation of the concept as an alternative to the dominant view. This has resulted in an interactive puzzle that encourages reflection as to what we mean by being strong.
