Thórdís & the golden heart

Inspired by the generous heart and healing gifts of one of my closest friends, this piece unfolded over the course of more than a year. Through long periods of contemplation, it continued to evolve and shapeshift, revealing itself layer by layer. This artwork marked a turning point in my creative journey. It was the first piece that initiated an upgrade in my work, in the way layers carry light, remain alive, and communicate with one another. What began as an exploration gradually became the very core of my practice. She holds a special place in my life, and naturally, this piece became a special one too : both personally and creatively. It carries devotion, trust, and deep listening, shaped by time rather than force. I am your shining heart I help you heal the wounds, The pain that stops you From being you I alchemize your suffering Into the most precious treasures. I am the golden key, The gentle touch Of the nurturing feminine Holding you. I whisper your true name Into the core of your soul. Photo credits (lake): Guðmann Þór Bjargmundsson
