Subject Matter Pavarent is an exploration of the architectural and sensory potential of materials and their possible applications. It balances the stable with the organic – a rhythmic construction in elm and Reishi, where light, texture, and shadow interact to create a vibrant spatial experience. The screen functions both as a practical room divider and as an independent sculptural installation, engaging the viewer physically as well as visually.

In my practice, I explore ornament as an emotional and connective element – a minimal ornament that emerges in the details, in the craftsmanship, and in the interplay of materials. It is not about decoration, but about presence and meaning – about creating objects that speak to the senses and invite reflection. The folding screen embodies this approach, where aesthetics and function merge seamlessly.

The work was created as part of the exhibition The work was created as part of the exhibition Reishi in the Nordic Light curated by Marie-Louise Høstbo.
