Still Life – Still Love

Solo exhibitionIÐNÓReykjavík

4 April 2025 – 31 May 2025

Still Life – Still Love is an exhibition about what holds us together and what connects us. The drawings are not meant to be grand statements or declarations. Instead, they offer quiet moments that occur between the viewer and the drawings, within soft questions and shared pauses. They come from everyday moments: the ones that hurt a little, the ones that surprise us with warmth, the ones that sit quietly in our chests for days, waiting to be felt.
