To everyone who attended the opening on March 1 of the art exhibition Potential of the In-Between—thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was truly an honor to have you there, and I am deeply grateful that you took the time to step away from your busy lives to share this moment together.

This exhibition explores the spaces in between—the often unseen gaps where new possibilities emerge. Between what we know and what we have yet to discover. Between the artwork and the viewer. Between the past and the future. Witnessing your reactions to these themes has been deeply inspiring.

A special thank you to those who engaged in thoughtful reflection, shared your insights, and expressed how the art resonated with you—the emotions it evoked, the memories it stirred, the perspectives it revealed. Your engagement is a powerful reminder that art is a living conversation, shaped by those who experience it.

To those who selected a piece to bring into your home—thank you. Your support not only gives these artworks a new life but also extends to the Skokloster Art Association, ensuring that creativity continues to thrive. I hope these pieces spark new dialogues and meanings in their new settings.

Thank you for filling this space with presence, conversation, and possibility.

Exhibition & Upcoming Guided Reflections

The exhibition remains open until March 29, and I warmly welcome you all to visit.
I also invite you to join our guided reflections at 13:00 on three Saturdays, where we will explore different themes together:

🔹 March 8 – Guiding Lights & Diserna (on International Women’s Day)
🔹 March 22 – Space & Water Mirror (on International Water Day)
🔹 March 29 – Future Perspectives

As Leonardo da Vinci once said; 

“Art is never finished, only abandoned.” 

Perhaps it is within the in-between—the unfinished, the undefined—that the most profound insights take shape.
