A solo show by Silke Bonde in her atelier in Copenhagen. March 19-April 9th 2026
“I am interested in our relationship with nature and our physical presence in it. Are we able to be authentically present and understand how wildly beautiful it is around us. I am curious about the psychological impact on us when we can see far, a perspective, literally and mentally. We need perspective to see ourselves as a dot on the globe. In a flat country like Denmark, we do not often have that physical perspective. The past two years I have traveled a lot in countries with mountains, plains and canyons. It has been so magnificent, uplifting and has given me perspective on my own life every time. Do we appreciate what we have around us when we can’t see it? Does the physical perspective have an impact on our psychological wellbeing?”

Bird
It's a journey to myself – a quiet but powerful liberation. I'm breaking away from old molds, from roles that never belonged to me, from paths I've followed, without ever asking where they lead.
I'm beginning to remember – the feeling of vastness, the joy of simply being. No longer trapped in silent rooms, no longer hidden behind yellow curtains and sterile walls.
We so often carry expectations that no one has spoken aloud – and yet they weigh heavily. I want to let them go. I want to breathe. I want to feel life, like the wind blowing through an open window.
I want to be free. Like a bird in the morning, light and awake, ready to discover the sky.
