In the video "I LOVE YOU" The Transformation Paradox, A painful retrospective, regressing into my material ten years back in time. To be remindedof all that went through my mind during a seemingly hopeless time. To "dare" to be ugly and awkward again, yes, because the truth is that I want pass and avoid people's scrutiny and judgmental glare. I just want to fit in and live my life. There is something paradoxical about this journey that I find contradictory.

I have done it for me, so that my outside fits my inside, but at the same time I did it all just to be loved and accepted by everyone else.

'I LOVE YOU' The Transformation Paradox 2024, ValstaKonst Sigtuna Museum & Art 13 Sept. - 22 Dec. 2024

 

In ´Velvet Passage´, Mika tells her story open heartedly and honestly to become complete. 

The material is collected between 2014 to 2024.

It wasn´t easy to look back at myself and that painful time in life, to relive it all and to answer the question if somebody believes it is an easy decision made in a whim. I kept telling myself, ‘I LOVE YOU ‘, as a personal mantra to keep on going and not give up.
