Båtsfjord brenner/The burning secret I carry (70x100cm)

A dear friend of mine once asked me "What would you do if your home danced in
unstoppable flames?". I became speechless. My whole system blinked. All my art, clothes
and things in waste, vanished forever. I answered "I think I would lay down in my bed and
let it surround me". He laughed out loud. Shortly after his face fell serious. "You don't
mean that, do you?".
"It's what I feel and since the question is hypothetical a guarantee won't be included".
I have been more afraid of myself than the fire. Almost as it was welcome so I didn't had
to end me on my own. An excuse. A friend you can't call because you lack their number.
My eyes are smiling now. Sometimes I find it hard to sleep when I'm eager to see the next
day.
