Each piece invites viewers to inhabit a timeless realm where movement, dance, and
performance exist beyond chronology. Her blurred figurative forms and the interplay of light and shadow are expressions of her desire to depict the ephemeral and intangible aspects of memory, emphasizing that these moments are more about feeling than about precise representation.
Bjurström sees her work as a way to explore the universal human
experience of holding onto personal memories while longing for the future and emphasizes
that each piece aims to exclude the concept of time, forming a pure space for reflection. For
her, art becomes a way to transcend life's impermanence, capturing the beauty and wonder of existence in fragile, timeless moments beyond the relentless march of time.
– With charcoal on paper I explore and observe the unpredictable nature of movement and stillness. I want to capture the fleeting beauty of an ever-changing life, the fragile moments we inhabit.
Ultimately I work to create that shimmer between movement and stillness and pause for a moment in the midst of a world in motion. I strive to explore nuances of tension and repose. The power of charcoal to capture these fragile elements instills my work with dynamism, as layers of charcoal create energy between density and lightness. Rhythm is revealed through methodical composition while stillness is met through the deeper meanings conveyed. All works strive to balance opposing elements and find harmony between them.
