Kunstgarasjen - Bergen, Norway (2026)
Planets of Aurora is made up of 44 spherical sculptures placed across the floor like a kind of quiet universe. Each one feels individual, but at the same time they clearly belong together, like they’re part of the same system.
On the surface of every sphere, there are different Arabic words for love written in calligraphy. It’s not just decoration. The words are worked into the clay, almost like they’re part of the structure itself. It turns language into something physical you can move around and experience in space.
The spheres come in different sizes and colors, and they feel a bit like planets or stones shaped over time. None of them are perfectly smooth. The surfaces are rough, layered, and broken in places, which gives them a strong connection to nature. You can see hints of landscapes in them, especially something that feels close to the Norwegian terrain.
There’s also a repeated golden circle across the works. It comes from the small dot used in Arabic calligraphy, which is actually what defines the letters. Here, that tiny detail is made big and important. It becomes a kind of center point, something that holds everything together.
Altogether, the work feels like a system built on connections. Each sphere has its own presence, but it only really makes sense when you see them all together.
