There is a tension in selling of Icelandic nature to the highest bidder, in the building of hydro-electric projects serving international companies with cheap electricity. Unique areas of unspoiled nature are gone forever and in the future even more might be lost. This loss and the fragile existence of Icelandic nature is the core of the artworks of Borghildur Óskarsdóttir, it is reflected in the empty moulds of clay, in the photographs showing that which is not there.
