Tree roots emerge from a vase to create a forest of trees in Christina Haglid's "Canopy". The artist invites the viewer to take a closer look at nature, to question what is seen and to enter into a newly created world.

A boat nearly filled to the brim, but not submerged and able to drain its own contents carefully. A slide alone at...
