The vague appeal, the mere fascination transform themselves while we begin to react to what we see. The mystery evokes protest, confrontation. Jette Christiansen opposes nature and what is perceived with her own secret by way of metaphor, symbol or dream all of which is attached to the exact and aesthetically accomplished composition of visible things, formed objects and elegant forms. She creates a complex, multi-layered dialogue between contrasting essences.
