du kan få räkna mina fräknar
(you may count my freckles)

Bead-weaving whit glas beads
20x30cm (with the frame)

This work is a bead-woven piece resembling a classic yellow Post-it note,  crafted using hundreds of tiny glass beads. The background is rendered in the recognizable Post-it yellow, while the text is composed of silvery-gray beads that mimic the look of pencil (graphite) writing. The message, written in Swedish, reads "du kan få räkna mina fräknar"—which translates to "you may count my freckles." Through this intimate phrase, the artwork explores themes of vulnerability, desire, and the subtle ways we seek closeness.
