With my work Anonymous, woman, I want to draw attention to the manifestation of women in public space, and their anonymity. Female sculptures in Reykjavík are mostly objectifications of women: woman at work, women with children, or goddesses. While some of the goddesses have names, they are nonetheless symbolic, not representative of any real woman.
Sculptures of women are thus generally representatives for a certain group, and it is important to memorialise their roles. Their anonymity is a useful reminder of gender inequality which still persists, reflecting the way that women are not honoured for their special contributions to society, nor identified by name.
