“This began when my husband and I participated in the Úlfarsfell Challenge, where the goal was to maintain physical fitness by hiking up Úlfarsfell 100 times within a year. Along the way, I began picking up rubbish and eventually started braiding this rubbish together with various materials from my studio. The result was 100 small sculptures, which have not yet been exhibited publicly.”
