Memory
2020/3
The colour of the blueberry has vanished from memory and been replaced with the pale colour of concrete. The surface is lifeless. I have studied blueberries using various techniques and materials. What fascinates me about blueberries is their fragility, combined with a certain kind of strength.Picking blueberries is very relaxing and it is a pleasure to observe them carefully before eating.I have tried to express the fragility through the title. In the future the blueberries in our forests could be just a distant memory. During the summer the spectators can pick blueberries around the artwork. They can also try to change the colour back to the normal colour of a blueberry if they wish. In the course of time, it will blend into its surroundings and the forest will start to draw its own work of art on its surface.
