Every day the cat Lasse walks to the Överby shopping center. He wants to be there to hang out and cuddle with the visitors while waiting for a ride home.

During "Musikhjälpen" 2023, Luffar-Lasse and his fans brought in close to 2 million SEK. And now he has been celebrated with his very own roundabout where I had the honor of creating Lasse in mosaic!

My degree project at Konstfack University of College of Arts is about the visual consumption on Instagram. How we several hours a day allow ourselves to look at a surface of glass: The screen.

Material: Glass mosaic, grout, fix, fiberglass and styrofoam.
