Fractured History 2025
Installation 
Clay, glass, tape 

I have made an installation about the Norwegianization (fornorskningen) of the Sami people, and how many people and families have lost their connection to their culture and history.  

I have chosen to work with clay to represent how fragile history is, and the broken mirror represents knowing who you are, but not having all of the pieces to your own family’s story, or to your own identity. The horns, which are held together with tape and have more mirror shards hanging from them, represent trying to re-find that history but not having the correct tools to do so.
