After graduation from RCN I had decided to take a gap year, with my only plan being working and visiting friends. But when everyday life began after RCN, it was very anticlimactic.
Slowly the days however started looking brighter, I could appreciate my job as a handicap assistant more and I had decided to study glass blowing in Sweden. So things were falling in place.
Then I left for Costa Rica, to be with one of my best friends from RCN, which was amazing. Sadly, I had to leave quite abruptly in the beginning of march due to Corona. But it wasn’t all negative, because while being in Costa Rica I also realized all the great opportunities I had in Denmark.
So I came back home and started working with a political artist (Jens Galschiøt) I meet during a presentation at RCN. Working with him included helping with happenings (such as demonstrations and exhibitions) and learning his sculpturing techniques.
Over the summer I also became a part of a Dutch program called “Bright Minds for Covid 19” which was awesome and lead me to a volunteering position in SMILFONDEN, (the smile foundation), which is an organisation that brings joy to terminally ill kids at the main hospital in Copenhagen. I’m going to start there in January where I am going to lead various creative workshops with the kids.
Over the summer I once again decided on going to University, so I have taken another gap year to apply for design academies. I am currently on a Danish boarding school (Folk high school) working with design and improving my chances of getting in to design academies.
