In her work, Elsa researches the transformation of forms into abstract levels of understanding, a kind of morphology of language.

She develops symbols that she transposes, teasing out a new meaning for her subjects. This may happen through the letters of writing being turned into a general visual language. In this exhibition, however, sounds and the act of listening are turned into an installation that affects our sensory organs.

The sculpture, sound, and light installation exhibited in the Hafnarhús D-Gallery, offers several layers of readings. At first glance, it is a space filled with playful forms, sounds, and mysterious lights. When we spend more time in it and listen carefully, it raises deeper aesthetic questions: Can human perception be cast into form? Is attention an active form of creation? The magic happens when listening becomes seeing. Listening is attention. Listening is understanding. Listening is love.

Elsa works with the morphology of the language, typography, words, and allusions. Her work expresses a vocabulary of expression, constructing symbols and forms into visual poetry. Recently moved from two-dimensional works in public space to three-dimensional sculpture. Elsa has been a member of the art duo Krot & Krass, creating numerous murals in Iceland and abroad. Elsa has been involved in the operation of numerous artist-run spaces in Reykjavík, with a special mention of the community project Fúsk in Gufunes.
