Shapes of sorrow (Gaza)




Several identical A2 posters are installed in a pine grove. They are wrapped around trees of various widths with plastic: clinging and suffocating. The prints are very black, abstract, and layered.

Each has a handwritten text with numbers and statistics from the genocide in Gaza, going backwards in time as you walk off the path and through the grove.






Presented at Hvitsten Salong in August 2024.











Numbers cannot convey suffering and pain, but they can convey magnitude.








Over the course of weeks exposed to the elements, the work became further abstracted by rainwater. At the end of the exhibition, the plastic was recycled and the prints preserved.
