Primitive Objects deals with my personal experiences as a mother of twins and an eldest daughter, at the time when the twins were small baby’s and I cared for all the three of them alone almost all the time. Parenting is a wonderful experience that there is nothing like, and also one that cannot really be explained to those who have not experienced it themselves. It has a lot of beautiful sides, but also harder sides, which is what I tried to express in this piece.
The experience was so intense that in my memory it is kind of surreal. There was a sense of being in a kind of survival mode. Reality happens and does not happen at the same time. I am me and I’m not me. Only in retrospect, and after a while, could I start thinking and digesting what I was going through.
this basic sense of being somewhat locked is there and comes back sometimes. And it is always alongside a great and infinite love. This is a relatively complex relationship that I am very interested in trying to explore through art.
