“Hideaway” is made completely out of ice and snow. It is a natural, quiet and peaceful place. A cave, a shelter, a protected space where you can retreat.
Here, time and space meet. At first you see a white void, and then large stone-like shapes appear. Shapes that rest shoulder to shoulder, or balance on each other and find an equilibrium.
With so many things going on in the world, this is a place where one can come to a standstill and just be.
