Bas van Beek commissioned me to work with him on a exhibition at the Kunsthall in Oslo
It features a portrait of humanitarian Fritjof Nansen who invented the Nansen Passport, a document that allowed refugees to find new homes during World War I.
Fritjof Nansen won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922. Born in Norway in 1861, Nansen’s early life was dedicated to exploration. He led an expedition across Greenland on cross-country skis and tried to reach the North Pole on another trip. He fell short on the latter, but traveled farther north than anyone had at the time.
