FORTÍÐ / THE PAST

Acrylic painting on canvas / 2 x 100 x 100 cm / 2013

From the exhibition “Tímaflóð” this painting portrays the concept of our past, which most of us tend to drag along behind us. It becomes our friend, and even though it stings we don ́t let go. In this painting the past is symbolized by the jellyfish which the girls drags along by its stinging tenticle.
