This monument commemorates an 1885 hurricane that destroyed the entire male population of Buholmen and Ålesund,Norway.

 

A young woman looks outward toward the future, but covers her heart with her hand to protect herself from uncertainty. The tension between rushing toward the unknown and being wary of it is a key element in Kirsten Kokkin's art.
