I am now back home, in very hot Montreal. A harsh contrast, to the weather I have been experiencing in Iceland, for the pas month. Hopefully, I will find a suitable pool to help with the transition. Sitting on my balcony, it’s 6am and I am reflecting on the past month. I’m realizing how much music has been a part of my journey. I haven’t read any of the books I brought, but I listened to music everyday; matching moods, matching feelings.
I created a short mixtape that illustrates my time in Iceland; linking them to some of my experiences.
Arriving in Iceland, the plane coming through the clouds and preparing for landing. Realizing it is raining and seeing for the first time, the beautiful colours of the landscape.
The first song to play on my Spotify, when settling for my first night at the residence. I was feeling very much out of place. I sang this song during walks and the pool. I was my first inspiration to work with oranges for my project.
The ocean, the waves, the birds …
A sliver of moon on what felt like one long day.
Walking, walking, walking, all kinds of walks. Around the city, the pier, the beach, around and over the hills.
Being an artist, creating, doubting …
And that concludes my journey, in Iceland!
