About the project

One of the many things in Icelandic that has piqued my interest over the years are idioms and idioms. It's safe to say that these language phenomena are an important part of Icelandic culture and history. I've always found idioms to have a strong pictorial meaning. That's why I found it a very exciting subject to interpret them and illustrate them in my own way I chose the idiom in this book as I thought they were good and exciting as subjects. Thus, it becomes a picture. The pictures are cut and cut out of colored paper, which I then combined into a picture book.

One of the many things that has piqued my interest in the Icelandic language over the years is its rich collection of idioms and proverbs. These expressions are a vital part of Icelandic linguistic culture and history. I've always found idioms to have strong visual potential, which made it exciting to interrupt them through design. I selected the idioms and probes in this book based on how vivid and visually engaging they felt. In this way, words become images. The visuals are made as paper cut-out collections, which I agreed and arranged into a picture book format.
