Since I was a kid I have had a strong interest in animals, especially fish and birds. I love their shape, their movements and the pattern of the feathers and scales, their bodies, faces and exceptional behaviour. There’s something magnetic with the world of the oceans; frightening, exciting and with a beauty that comes with the tension between these feelings. In a society where the view on what is normal is still quite conservative, the way some fish species change sex, size and identity gives a new perspective.

Some years ago I started making chains of thin silver scales. The scales grew larger and I added elements of recycled plastics. To me the pieces looks like traces from an intense struggle catching a big fish. When adding the plastic I realized that jumping into the ocean these days you might be more likely to end up with plastics on your body than scales from a fish.
