(The world has never been as connected as it is today, and the possibilities for communication between people are enormous. Yet so many suffer from an absolutely consuming loneliness.)
The series is about spiritual loneliness. It is the kind of loneliness that comes from a deep inner feeling of being separate from others, even when you are surrounded by people.
(The picture depicts modern humans struggling to keep up with a stream of information and activities.)
My name is Ylva Sjögren, and art in its many forms has always been an essential part of my life. Since childhood, I have been surrounded by art—the walls of our home were adorned with it. I have always felt a strong attraction to expressionism and surrealism, and these influences shape my own work. Themes of time and aging frequently appear in my pieces. I often explore states of being where individuals feel trapped by both internal and external forces. Early in my life, I worked with elderly people living with dementia, an experience that sparked profound questions within me about the meaning of life and the many dimensions of being human.
