“Metamorfós”, Hudiksvall Hospital
A sculpture group consisting of 3 stone sculptures in granite and steel
The theme for this design was Impressions and Movement: What happens when a place function transitions into something new? A symbolic way to depict the transformation of a place can be the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly, even if an insect undergoes a fundamental transformation it is still the same individual, similarly a place can change fundamentally but continue to be the same place, certainly with a different character or function.

Mudra/Gåvan
“Mudra/The Gift”
A sculpture in two types of granite, placed outside the entrance to the Psychiatry Hospital in Västervik
The sculpture is intended to meet visitors at the entrance and create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The two contrasting granite types enhance the feeling of balance and harmony, which ties in with the purpose of the place and the need for security. The commission assignment included proposing a larger sculpture and a base that also could function as a crash protection.
A Mudra is a symbolic hand gesture, used to convey teachings and blessings. Based on this, I have worked further and made a sculpture model of a stylized hand with a cloud resting on it, as a promise of peace of mind.
Escuintle
“Escuintle” From the Nahuatl Itzcuintli which means dog or puppy, a medium-sized sculpture in black granite for the new Börjetull neighborhood in Uppsala.
New works, back in India
In 2024, I spent two periods in Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, working on two parallel assignments, one for Hudiksvall Hospital and the other for the new psychiatric hospital in Västervik. The installations will be completed during the summer.
