Aleksandra Kuokkanen

I can’t tell when the Ghost started to travel alongside me.  

The artwork is a vessel for a memory I don’t hold, pieced together by clues and inklings. It consists of a drawing in the form of a relief, and silver pins performing as absent heirlooms.  

The work has been supported by Greta och Alfred Runebergs Stiftelse.
