Mother and son, Lauga and Bjartur, dedicate this show to brain fog, each approaching the subject from their own experience. Lauga connects her brain fog to different life stages and origins, including childbirth and breastfeeding (breast fog), trauma, menopause, stress, burnout and the blessed menopause.

Bjartur (15) is very familiar with brain fog despite his young age as a neurodivergent and gender-diverse individual, stemming from autism, sensory overload, ADHD and other conditions.
The challenges of life.

Laugu's paintings are created in acrylic on canvas and depict images of women enveloped in a pink brain fog. Bjartur creates his artwork in Procreate on an iPad Pro, offering an insight into his mind.

This is the first exhibition for both of them and they are very excited about this collaboration. They are self-taught and have both had visual art in their hearts from a young age, taking various short courses. Lauga did not have much faith in her own abilities and did not follow her artistic calling until Bjartur, with his diligence and playfulness with art, became an inspiration to the mother. He is her role model. They are therefore now embarking on their artistic careers simultaneously and are flourishing in their own ways. In addition, Bjartur is aiming for a career in the theatre and is now starting his third year at the Borgarleikhúsið Theatre School.

Other opening times:

The event is sponsored by the Culture and Tourism Committee of the City of Hafnarfjörður.

—————————–

Many people are familiar with brain fog, but its cause and experience can vary from person to person. Like regular fog, brain fog can be light and fairly easy to get through, or it can be thick and intense and clear up slowly.

The fog is uncomfortable, slows us down or even blinds us.
Mother and son Lauga and Bjartur dedicate this exhibition to brain fog and approach the subject based on their own experiences.

Lauga connects her brain fog to different periods of her life, i.e. childbirth and breastfeeding (breast fog), trauma, stress, burnout and the blessed menopause.
Bjartur (15 years old) is well familiar with brain fog despite his young age as a neurodivergent and genderqueer person, based on autism, sensory overload, ADHD and other life challenges.

Lauga's pictures are painted with acrylic on canvas and show images of women surrounded by pink brain fog. Bjartur draws his images in Procreate on a tablet and they give us a glimpse into his mind.

This is the first show for both of them and they are very excited about this collaboration. They are both self-taught and have both had visual art in their hearts from a young age. Lauga did not particularly believe in her own abilities and therefore did not follow the call from the goddess of art until Bjartur, with his creativity, hard work and playing with the goddess of art, became an inspiration to her mother. He was her motivation to really start. They are now starting their artistic careers at the same time and flourishing each in their own way. Bjartur is also aiming for an acting career and is now starting his third year studying at the Reykjavik City Theatre School.
