We Got Time explores the act of pausing within uncertainty and extending that moment forward, using the symbol of twilight as a metaphor for transformation. Inspired by the Icelandic Midsummer, the exhibition reflects on the potential and vulnerability inherent in transitional periods.
In We Got Time, Kristín Morthens investigates the experience of navigating uncertainty, using the liminal space of twilight as a central theme. The series, which draws inspiration from the Icelandic Jónsmessa (Midsummer), examines how the thinning veil between worlds at this time of year mirrors the psychological tension of life's turning points, where the future feels both possible and fragile. Morthens' work employs fragmented, limb-like figures set against abstract environments to address themes of intimacy, separation, and boundaries. By using layered materials including oil, ink, and spray paint, she creates a visual language of touch and distance. Through these strategic processes, the artist emphasizes the liminal thresholds between materiality and absence, evoking the suspended interactions of everyday experience.
The exhibition was hosted at Þula gallery. Please check the gallery's website for general contact and visiting information, as no specific ticket booking is required for standard entry unless otherwise noted by the venue.
