The world beyond humans

The project “The World Beyond Humans” explores how colour, material, and form can be used to create a textile installation that constructs a parallel world hidden within nature. Inspired by the designer’s childhood memories of growing up in the Icelandic countryside, Icelandic landscapes, and folklore stories about huldufólk, the installation seeks to inspire reflection on the relationship between humans and nature through a sensory experience.
