THE EXHIBITION
The exhibition “ROOTS” explores place and memory, drawing inspiration from the province of Västerbotten, its landscapes, wildlife, and the artist’s nostalgic reflections on growing up there. These themes are expressed through a series of prints.
“ROOTS” invites viewers to reflect on their own memories of home and to consider the objects and environments that have shaped who they are.
