Einkasýning: Nína Óskarsdóttir

I'm looking at my teenage bedroom

I'm looking at the arrangement of things

figurines, posters, candles, books, CDs and perfume bottles

A collection of ideologies

An echo in the space I inhabited

 

I feel like an archaeologist

digging up a past to make sense of my own present

I'm drawn to a source of light

propelled by curiosity I dig deeper

Some objects have remained

they feel familiar

some ideas have remained

others are forgotten

I guess they weren't that important

 

I'm looking at my present self

I'm looking at my phone

It fits nicely into the palm of my hand

 

            The whole world

 

I have the best view from where I'm sat

of all the things that people do

I'm interested in everything and nothing at the same time

I remember and forget at the same time.

I worship and I'm indifferent at the same time

I want to show it to you too
