Collages of Rest
by Greta Granö
a sadness in me
in me there lives a sadness
a sadness lives in me
it’s big and blue and complex
i try to let it be
i want to make it visible
i’m scared and i am free
scared because of shame
free because i still let you see
that i am here,
with a sadness in me
the passing of time
the bees
the trees
the fish overseas
the geese, the breeze,
the sun and its constant tease
the healthy versions of me,
my hair full of grease
they´re curious to see,
to watch, as i rot in peace
loneliness
it wraps around me like a blanket,
not a soft one
squeezes me smaller and smaller
compressing
smaller and smaller
so little human
in so much space
so little human
so much space
About the Exhibition
Collages of Rest is a collection of three art-collages and poems by Greta Granö. The first piece, A sadness in me, was created back in 2023 and it inspired Greta to keep expressing herself with collages. The pieces The passing of time and Loneliness were created in 2025 for this exhibition.
