Comfort is often imitated then truly lived 

Textile installation talks about the absurdity of comfort and the conflict it brings within ourselves, but also repeating societal patterns throughout history.

It's more common to criminally repeat what we used to than change or evolve for the better a soft barricade is made out of sleeping bags, looking like material.

From faraway, you can be easily misread as sleeping bags, but if you look closely, you find 2 body bags.Even though the installation is soft, the objects are brutal, like a blockaded exit or entrance and body bags designed to carry corpses.

soft - inviting, comforting, what is usually hard and cold.

Comfort often gets put too fast in context with achievements, money and materialism. To often we focus on doing, instead of just letting go.

While we over focus on it and are living death, while true freedom passes us by ( wanm kebt death) that’s why I chose to work with the body bags.
