With the work Velkommen!! (...) :o ? .. ... :-((. ... X3 ..xoxo, the bunker is transformed into a mental space for feelings and realities that are both personal, private and at the same time universal. The teenage room being a representation of thoughts that are solely one’s own, the work reflects on love, breakdown, isolation, dreams and self-understanding as changing states occupying body and mind if only for a while. The interior is familiar in an unfamiliar environment, pointing to the bunker and the teenage room as physical and mental spaces where one is ultimately alone.
