When an unexpected illness suddenly comes knocking and brings you crashing down, a person experiences all sorts of emotions. Sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously, and sometimes long afterwards. The pictures represent the emotional healing process after illness and during it. Everything from being brave and overwhelmed, experiencing uncertainty and the wait. Many emotions back and forth.
Eva Jenný Þorsteinsdóttir (1991) has a BSc in Psychology and has been working within social services for many years.
She has always been interested in drawing but never really made time for it until she unexpectedly took it up after an operation she had in the autumn of 2023.
She always had a perfectionist streak, so when she started drawing after the operation, she used only a pen to overcome this tendency and be consciously in the flow with each drawing. The works are from autumn 2023.

When unexpected illness suddenly strikes and brings a person down to the ground, the individual experiences all kinds of emotions.

Eva Jenný Þorsteinsdóttir (1991) holds a BSc in psychology and has been working in social welfare services for many years. She has always had an interest in drawing but never gave it any real space until she unexpectedly sought it out after surgery she underwent in the autumn of 2023.
She had always been hindered by perfectionism, so when she began to draw after the surgery, she used only pens to overcome her perfectionism and to be consciously in flow with each piece. The works have been created since the autumn of 2023.
