Live Poetry | Moderna Museet

During Stockholm Culture Night, I had the honor of performing at Moderna Museet – my poetry debut at The Museum of Modern Art.

The event was hosted by the Stockholm Poet Society and gathered voices who work in the spaces between language and emotion. I shared Dream, a poem from my diary-based series Fragments of Existence – texts that live in quiet dialogue with my visual art.

Here is a part of the piece I read that night:

Dream
Dream, dream dream!
Let your inner light shine bright,
Through shadows deep a quiet light.

A spark within, a hidden fire,
Awakens hope, lifts dreams higher.

Trust in paths unseen, unknown,
For in the dark, true strength is grown.

To speak this piece aloud, in a room filled with presence and stillness, was more than performance — it was a release.

To everyone who came, listened, and felt something with me:
Thank you.

This was not just a reading, but a beginning.
