I was invited to speak at TEDxArendal, joining a diverse group of speakers to share ideas and personal experiences with a live audience. The opportunity provided a platform to explore themes that have shaped both my artistic practice and my perspective on creativity, materials, and storytelling.

The process leading up to the event was highly collaborative, involving months of preparation, reflection, and refinement. Working closely with the TEDxArendal team and speaker coaches helped transform initial thoughts into a focused presentation, strengthening both the message and its delivery.

Taking the stage on the iconic TEDx red dot was a significant milestone, allowing me to share my work and ideas with an engaged audience. The event created meaningful conversations around creativity, purpose, and the value of looking at familiar things from new perspectives.

For me, the experience was about more than delivering a talk. It was an opportunity to articulate ideas that have developed throughout my career and to share them with an audience willing to listen, reflect, and engage. The conversations that followed reinforced my belief that creativity has the power to challenge assumptions, inspire new ways of thinking, and create meaningful connections between people.
