With the exhibition "Duck Residence", we want to focus on what it means to belong. The exhibition goes in and interacts with the lake's resident. Either by taking a seat from them or by giving them new temporary residences. A problem that is current in many places in the world. Kunstforrum Viborg.

”Inner places of belonging”

My project is about my ongoing inner seach to find love and acceptance of myself, to find a innner place of belonging. The outside world will always mirror back to you if you are not fully accepting yourself. Though you will not find that place of love and shelter outside, if you can’t find it in your own heart. My sculptures are showing 3 stages of my journey;

”Hide and seek”. This sculpture is showing a period of retreating from the world, where I try to confront all kinds of feelings to see what I’am really hiding inside of me.

”Surrendering” is a sculpture revolving around the need of surrendering, so tired of fighting the feelings, I try to accept them.

”To be vulnable.” I try to rebuild a new sense of belonging, which is embracing my new sense of beingness.

 The sculptures will be floating on the lake of Viborg, and the water will be my mirror.

The ducks on the lake are very welcome to visit my sculptures, and interact with them in their own way
