Commisioned by Trollfjordkraft, Myriam was asked to create an installation in their hydro - electric powerplant in Trollfjord.
The installation expresses how people 'touch' (norwegian: berør) the 'untouched' landscape. It shows the vulnerability of n
nature, how people affect the pristine landscape a collaborative between peple and the elements, from water to light.
The aluminium tubes (norwegian:rør) split the artwork into two parts to symbolize the division caused by the pipeline from Trollfjordvatn to the turbinehall.
Tim Chalman composed the music that he performed live at the opening in Trollfjord.
To express their gratitude for being given the opportunity to live their lives in close connection to nature but also to underline the impermanence of our precious human life and the enormous consequences of human behaviour on our planet and other lifeforms, Myriam and 'objektør' build this very temporary stupa right on their doorstep on Skjærvøya

Six grey, drab and modest transformer sheds in the six Vesterålen municipalities have been transformed into powerful works of art.
The transformer art is part of Vesterålen Cultural Commitee's cultural boost from 2000 to 2010 and builds upon the concepts ot the millenium celebration.
The transformer sheds practically screamed out for artistic decoration. They were solid cubes waiting for an artist's touch.
Myriam was asked to transform the one in Stokmarknes.
Inspired by Archtect Richard Buckminster Fuller 1895-1985
who was already aware of the vulnerability of the earth during his time.
I investigated the geodome shape.
