“Resilience, an Icelandic Perspective” delves into the theme of resilience through the works of three remarkable Icelandic artists. Sandra Mjoll Jonsdottir, Yael BC, Maria Kjartans, Kristjan Maack, and Telma Harthese explore the relationship between humanity and the rugged Icelandic environment, where survival and adaptation are central. Their collective works weave a narrative that reflects the raw power of nature and the resilience required to thrive within it.
From Jónsdóttir’s intimate portrayal of isolation, to Kjartans’ interdisciplinary approach blending cultural resilience, and Maack’s iconic landscapes capturing Iceland’s untamed beauty, each artist offers a unique perspective on how nature, culture, and identity shape resilience in the face of change. Together, their works embody the spirit of Iceland, where endurance and adaptation are essential to life.
