My public art work Forest Sounds was opened in Angered suburb in Gothenburg, Sweden. The work in a light traffic underpass tunnel depicts sound waves and woods reflecting from water. The work consists of wall paintings and laser-cut steel plates on both sides and the ceiling of the tunnel, and a soundtrack recorded at forests and lakes. More about the work here.
