Coastal
Waters
This folder investigates the critical role of coastal ecosystems in supporting biodiversity and human communities.
I'm focusing on how coastal waters are managed, the ancestral practices used by indigenous peoples to maintain these delicate ecosystems, and the importance of sustainable fishing and conservation efforts in reducing ecological harm.
“The complexity of the coastal ocean cannot be well understood if the interconnection between physics, biology and ecology is not taken into account.”
Timeline
STUP — Invasive Oyster Bar
We opened a unique restaurant-school dedicated to “invasive” species, specifically focusing on Pacific oysters. The concept was centered around serving the public a variety of these oysters, which are largely responsible for the disappearance of local water ecosystems in the north like the seaweed kelp forests.
The restaurant also featured a greenhouse and garden, offering workshops on biomaterials, botany, and fermentation.
Argentine Sea Expedition
We embarked on a 150-kilometer journey off the coast of Mar del Plata to study the diverse marine species inhabiting the Argentine Sea.
180 km deep sea trip
30 species counted
Rich unprotected seas
Fek.s Air — Aalborg
During the residency at Fek.s Air in Aalborg we conducted several trips around Skagen to observe fishing boats, seaweed harvest, and continued our research around Ecofeminism and Bioarchitecture — collecting information about the seaweed roofs crafted by women almost 400 years ago.

Special mention to Supper Divas and my loved friend Aurora Aaven for this co-creation of interlimited safe spaces.
Special mention to Zoe, The Northern Co, Nordic Ferment and the subaquatic universe of seaweed, mosses and lichens.
Special mention to my friends Proyecto Pescado, for all the garums, knowledge and preservation.
Special thank to Nora Pagu, Sunniva, Hege, Mikal, Øla, and Bodø family for beloved historical times.

Mushroom
Forest
Workshop
In the heart of the ancient forest, where mushrooms rise like whispers from the earth, we gather for the Flooding Workshop.
We enter the forest as guests, our senses attuned to the subtle rhythms of nature. The mushrooms, delicate and wise, stand as silent sentinels, guiding us through this sacred space.
As we move, we stoop to collect what does not belong—pieces of trash that mar the landscape. But this is not a task of haste; it is a ritual of reverence. Each piece we pick up is a small offering to the earth.
The coastal waters beyond the forest call to us, their waves lapping gently at the shore. Here, where the land meets the sea, we are reminded that our actions ripple outwards, touching everything.
We leave the forest not as conquerors but as caretakers, having touched the earth with gentle hands, and having learned that true abundance is found not in taking, but in giving.
