Ørnekvinnen (2022)
0
In front of you stands Ørnekvinnen, or The Eagle Woman, a sculpture by Elin Bergstø Rossing from 2022. Rossing works across various art forms, but in her sculptures she seeks to capture the organic, the musical, and the unspoken – the elements that awaken a sense of wonder in the viewer. The sculpture was first exhibited on the rocky shoreline of Tranøy during Rossing’s summer 2022 exhibition at the Hamsun Gallery. It was later purchased by the association Protect the Vestfjord for the Future and donated to the Tranøy Art Park. Its powerful presence reflects the association’s mission: to protect the rich biodiversity of the Vestfjord, its vulnerable coral reefs, and the delicate balance of nature. Rossing sees humanity as part of nature – a connection where everything affects everything. Perhaps The Eagle Woman is a reminder of that? An invitation to see, to listen, and to understand how deeply we are tied to the world around us.
