I´ve Got You Under My Skin

“Pink is the colour of a world that is intimately familiar to us — and reveals love for the world.” — Claude Monet (attributed) – Claude Monet (zugeschrieben)

What Monet describes as a quiet love for the world becomes, here, a declaration: of closeness, permeability, and sensitivity. Pink does not lie on the surface — it seeps in, nestles close, remains under the skin.

Inspired by Björn Vedder’s essay Pink – On the Magic of a Colour, the work takes a frequently underestimated colour seriously — as a subversive force of tenderness. A colour that resists hardness, separation, and the logic of either-or.

Layering, gesture, omission. Spaces of the in-between — not loud, but breathing.
