“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.
Lirón
“Lirón” a public art commision in the courtyard of Äventyrets preschool
The sculpture at Äventyret Preschool is composed of two sections: a dormouse resting in a cloud-like hand made of granite, with light gray for the hand and reddish brown for the mouse. The preschool aims to create an environment with a nature-inspired theme. In the inner courtyard, there is a local population of dormice, a rare and protected species that is also featured in Alice in Wonderland. The dormice are known for their long winter hibernation and can serve as a basis for discussions about nature conservation.

Rannebergen, The Garden of Earthly Delights
“Lustgården” in Rannebergen features lush vegetation reminiscent of Romanticism’s mythical landscapes. Inspired by films, stories, and Claude Debussy’s music, anthropomorphic figures symbolize harmony between humans and nature. The installation includes three scenes that form a narrative but can be enjoyed individually.
