Why are you a part of Magic Carpets: I was recommended by a friend who worked for Magic Carpets in Örebro. She connected me with Paulina in Wroclaw. Perfect match since I love meeting new people, go to new places and connect with the local community.
Magic Carpets project
An ongoing theme I’ve been working on is aiming to re-enchanting the world. Together with kids in the local area we will discover magic elements of nature, animals, and everyday life. An essential aspect of this is to embrace the playful perspective of children, who effortlessly navigate between different worlds and unleash their imagination in ways adults often forget. Since childhood, I’ve yearned for the enchantment of everyday life, recognizing the power of imagination and the signiJicance of play. For me, this project is about reconnecting with the magical, both on a personal level and in guiding others toward a new and fresh approach to the world.
Past projects
PARASITE ME
Type: Installation
Creatures. Can parasites possess charm and cuteness, or are they inherently harmful? Sometimes in nature, animals help each other, but it’s hard to know when a relationship is helpful or harmful.
GODS WE DONT REMEMBER
Type: Installation
I created an installation at Inkonst in Malmö where visitors could step into a setting resembling a Greek temple. This environment featured theater masks, paintings, wooden sculptures, and murals inspired by ancient Greek aesthetics, decoration, and mythology.
What inspires you as an artist? Everyday things, mistakes, ordinary stuff, cuteness, garbage, folk art, ancient art, myths, ornaments, nature, decoration, accidental art, animals, human behavior.
What do you think is the purpose of art? To see new things, open new rooms inside of us. To distract, to bring joy, to push our thoughts further.
