Rebekka’s work is a blend of many different practices including sewing, collecting natural materials, storytelling,  photography, and cooking. Rather than focusing on a single medium, she approaches her practice with a sensitivity to materials and small, often unnoticed details. Her process is rooted in curiosity and exploration and encoring people to look at their surroundings in a new light. Growing up surrounded by textiles—her mother is a seamstress—and with a strong interest in food, both have naturally woven into her artistic journey. Using food as a medium for storytelling is one way she combines her passions with her creative expression.

She joined Contact in July and loves its lively, multifaceted environment. The diversity of people, projects, and the seamless merging of creative and professional pursuits make it an inspiring place to work.

Currently, Rebekka is making frames for her photography using dried plants, framing them in a different way. She’s also applying for a residency in Switzerland, aiming to develop a project that connects landscapes to a library. Additionally, she’s exploring the idea of soup-making as a medium that connects people culturally and historically, transcending time, culture, and social class.

Nature is a constant source of inspiration for Rebekka, especially coastal landscapes. She enjoys collecting materials and observing the world outside the city, which often sparks ideas for her work.

A project that was really meaningful to her is her art academy thesis, which culminated in a book that incorporated natural materials and also told a story. It allowed her to bring together the many elements of her practice and interests.
