My first solo exhibition at Litla gallerý in Hafnarfjörður, My book of Secrets.

The exhibition My Book of Secrets displays work of photographs where its author strives to display how the medium becomes a platform for self-exploration, self-reflection, research, and redefinition of the self.

For the last few years, I have been exploring photography as an art platform. I frequently use myself as a mannequin and create characters as a way to recreate thought processes. My works are my platform to interpret the notion I have of myself and the world I exist in. Each photograph is at the same time an extension of the past, the things that shape me and what I have learned, as well as glimpse into the future I go towards. The main artistic influence on my works derives from Cindy Sherman, Tim Walker, Anja Niemi, Yasumasa Morimura and Uldus Bakthiozina.

The title, My Book of Secrets, refers to books held by women in the 16th Century, that entailed different recipes and women-guides. By that, the exhibition hints towards “the secret” as a hidden part of the woman’s life, the thing that could not be discussed openly. The exhibition My Book of Secret: Part I shows the artist's first steps within the platform, with focus on character creation, shaped by inner and outer factors.
