I found it such a strange idea to provide a physical thing that says something about how I want to be remembered. What I keep coming back to is a concept instead of a physical object. What popped up in my mind is this idea of being a good person. […]

I decided to bring a notebook, a pen, post-its and a highlighter because they all represent one thing for me: EDUCATION. For me, it’s important to get an education, to gain knowledge and fight for a better future for myself and the coming generations. With the help of a pen […]
I wanted to choose something alive at this exact moment. When a flower dies, it becomes part of the earth and can arise again. In 50 years, all the many fashionable, short-lived things that we surround ourselves with these days will be considered outdated. They won’t matter anymore. This rose, […]
I want to be remembered as that person who took action: that person who voiced her opinion and took action. Right now, I’m doing everything I can to overcome my performance anxiety. Because if you want to be heard, you have to speak up. In Greenland, we are still recovering […]
The camera on the left is an analogue camera that I borrowed from a friend. When it comes to the historical development of photography and moving pictures, this camera represents a point of departure. The one on the right is a digital model that I recently bought for my trip […]
Being creative in various ways is a hobby of mine, and it keeps me calm and relaxed. In Greenland, women are known for being creative with their hands, such as the sewing of skin and beads. I somehow feel that through the creations that I make, I learn more about […]
When I was thinking about what to bring, these two things came up immediately. The object on the left is a necklace and it represents an Inuk (singular of Inuit). My grandparents are sheep farmers and they live in Sillisit, which is between Qassiarsuk and Narsaq in the south of […]
This book is a story about Greenlandic mythological creatures. My best friend Maria is the main author of this book, and I, along with my partner Robin and our friend Qivioq, worked as a research group on the project. This book was recently published but it has been in the […]
The future should know that I am not good with flowers. I am horrible at it. My fellow students and I bought this flower together for our shared office space. Currently, it is standing on my desk and I am responsible for it. That’s why it looks like that. Nevertheless, […]
This is a Fujifilm X-Pro2 camera with a 27mm pancake lens, and to the left you can see a 30-year-old 100mm Nikon lens. The camera has a retro-style housing but is actually a highly advanced mirrorless camera. I love the size of it because you can walk around and take […]
I got this guitar plectrum at the Atlantic Music Store here in Nuuk. Music is very important to me, and I think the plectrum is a good representation of that part of my life. My father has been playing the guitar since I was very little. He used to play […]
This bracelet was given to me when I was visiting Szeged, Hungary. Szeged is the home of my favourite men’s handball club, and you can see their logo on the bracelet. I was visiting the city for three days and stayed with a Hungarian family that I had met via […]
This is a picture that I made myself when I was in art school. It is a Cyanotype which refers to the process of making these kinds of pictures. It is a bit like developing film, and you have to use chemicals that turn blue when the sun hits them. […]
This necklace represents an Inuit woman and is made of Caribou antlers. I had seen my mom wear one of these and when she realized how much I admired it, she went out and bought one for me and my sister as well. Now the three females in the nuclear […]
