Haruki Murakami

Two deep sea creatures, frozen in time, frozen in light, frozen in darkness. In the deepest where currents and waters combine, they are frozen, stuck to their surrounding. the surface, many meters above the, icebergs are floating. Between them and the sun. Decreasing the pressure, pushing them deeper, down into the vacuum of the frozen darkness.
An exploration of shapes, Surfaces and Colors that are inspired by the creatures that live deep down in the bottom of the seas. Combined with the brightness of light that unfortunately does not shine down there. We spend the winter in Tromsø in north of Norway where no sunlight exist during that time.
