Henrik Stromberg
Henrik Stromberg constructs open-ended images through plants, objects, and sculptural forms. His practice explores metamorphosis, memory, and the materiality of time, generating new relationships and meanings through the deconstruction and reconstruction of images. Each image functions as a clue, inviting viewers to project their own experiences and sensations, and to discover landscapes of meaning unique to themselves.
