The Sunshine family.
The family was originally called Family Dark.
But when darkness settled over the World,
they found out they had to do so - mething to
survive. They couldn’t just let the darkness
and fear engulf them. But there’s the thing
about darkness, it can paralyze people, just
like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. It
stiffens and paralyzes people and they risk
being wiped out.
​
The Dark family realized that they had to find
a tool that could withstand the darkness. It
quickly dawned on them that the tool was the
Light! Keeping the light in themselves would
save them, and perhaps in the long run even
their surroundings. Everything starts small.
The light -not meant as the Divine light, but in
the form of the preservation of common sense, facts,
experiences and knowledge.
​
Belief in freedom and own abilities.
Resistance and the ability to see through
manipulation and lies. The freedom to speak
and live according to one’s own opinion. The
tool became the light, and the family decided
to mark their survival instinct with a name
change to The Sunshine Family.

The Clash between Right and Wrong
"Right" and "Wrong" always follow each other for some legal reason. They are always up for a fight. Many years ago, I thought that "Right" would one day win. Is that common sense? I don't think so anymore. But it's good that "Right" still wants to fight!
The two sculptures come together as one work, but can be seen in many situations. Therefore, I show several angles of the story here.
