"The Unbearable Lightness of Duality"
This installation was my MFA graduation project at Oslo Academy of the Arts in June 2025. The project explores how community, neighborhood activism, and urban development can be strengthened through local volunteer efforts and collective action. The project also examines how external actors, such as real estate developers, try to exploit this commitment under the guise of sustainability and gentrification.
