Be Not Afraid

Einar Lúðvík Ólafsson (IS)

Look at the larva on the leaf.
Look how glad it is.
It only sees green.
It only sees leaves.

And It loves to eat leaves.
The larva has no interest in flying.

But If it keeps on eating like this,
flying is inevitable.

“the leaves were about to be sprayed with pesticides anyway.”
The butterfly thinks.











 

 Einar Lúðvík Ólafsson graduated from the Iceland University of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2020. In his works, Einar offers a critical perspective on both society and painting: by transforming and recontextualizing historical art movements, he addresses the human condition in the modern era. Exploring human existence in its interconnectedness, lack of context, and absurdity, he draws on a rapidly changing society that disables human reflection and inner contemplation.
