​Like many others, I turned the camera towards myself during the first part of the pandemic, in a series of self-portraits taken in isolation in the spring of 2020. I experimented with different ways of positioning the body to achieve a sense of surrealism in the images, and I also experimented with long exposures. I had a very long-term pneumonia which I did not get adequate help to get rid of from the health care system and because of the pandemic I had to isolate myself. This was at the time when only health personnel and those in the risk group had the right to be tested. I was not tested despite being in the high-risk group with an autoimmune disease. I have experienced similar serious neglect in the healthcare system in the past. The series is therefore not only about the pandemic and isolation, but about women's health in generaland the serious consequences of not being taken seriously: The feeling of being irrelevant to society and made invisible. I exhibited the series at a gallery in Vålerenga in January 2022. It later turned out that the curator at this gallery had some political opinions and connections that I could not stand for, which were not communicated to me. Therefore I cannot have this exhibition on my CV. The gallery has now been shut down.
