Youth voices matter
It is a public and interactive art Installation In collaboration with Useful Art for Communities (UAC) and commissioned by Ungdomsbureauet at Ungdommens Folkemøde.
Exhibited at Valby parken in Copenhagen with the goal of creating a space where youth voices can resonate and be heard by both citizens and policy makers.
This artwork intentionally wants to contribute with another perspective in order to exercise better democracy, and exploring the example of what happens in western democracies; society requires citizens to have a political opinion and engage with democratic practices from the age of 18. However, what is happening before one is legally able to participate in the building of the local community? When one is supposed to forge their political opinion?How can contemporary politics really involve citizens with public affairs? However, aren’t the youth also part of the communities and therefore also citizens?
The artwork was also exhibited at Dokk1, the 20 and 21th October 2021, In collaboration with Sweet Aarhus.
This project has been documented and archived by the UAC organization and it’s available for future public exhibitions.

S.O.S “Save our souls”
A series of public workshops on the streets around Denmark was created as a peaceful action against the harsh laws implemented by the Danish government in 2017, and which affected and still continue to influence somehow the lives of many refugees who come to Denmark looking for a dignified and safe life.
During the approximately forty workshops, locals, refugees and expats joined their voices in the form of flowers and letters, reaching a total of four hundred flowers, two hundred letters that served to spread awareness about their struggle and that at the same time opened a dialogue in favor of justice and human rights regarding the migration systems in what we live in western societies.

Copper Powder Patterns Collection
It’s a Crafts pottery collection.
This project is based around experimentation, by using clay as main material and copper as a
secondary.Cooking the clay has the biggest impact on the end result, using different quantities
of copper in the clay mixture and trying different temperatures during the firing and using gas and electric kilns to help the copper flourish in a very uncontrollable way.
The goal was to explore and discover effective ways in decorating pottery without the aid
of paints and other non sustainable inks through an experimentation process, it was about taking natural resources and using their qualities to discover unique patterns.
