Helene Espedal-Selvåg
Gjennom sine installasjoner i video, tekstil og skulptur søker hun innsikt i naturens egenverdi – en utforskning som samtidig reflekterer menneskets forhold til den.
Through her installations in video, textiles, and sculpture, she seeks insight into the intrinsic value of nature—an exploration that simultaneously reflects humanity’s relationship with it.
