03 No Borders, No Nations,
Stop Deportations.

A collection of scarfs and patches as part of the display window decoration for Björkåfrihet second hand stores in summer 2021. It was the same summer that the swedish parliament voted for a new migration law that in many ways eroded asylum rights. The profit from the scarfs sale went to organizations that support refugees and undocumented migrants.  





04 Inte en kvinna till! 

Linocutted and risoprinted with handwritten names of 152 women who have been killed by a man they knew.

Inspired by the Latin American feminist movement #NiUnaMenos, meaning "Not one [woman] less".




05 Block printing

Material research of mdf with lasercut techniques, printed in letterpress. I like to combine modern and traditional techniques in my process.






06 Acrylic pieces

Material research of acrylic and lasercut techniques where I have tried to avoid waste of material.
