The Icelandic expansion vikings

The Icelandic Expansion Vikings is a sculptural commentary on the financiers who drove Iceland’s 2008 economic crisis. The piece uses male Barbie dolls reshaped into high-heeled shoes, reflecting the power imbalance and societal consequences of their actions.

By turning symbols of masculine dominance into objects associated with vulnerability and irony, the sculpture invites viewers to “walk over” those who once walked over the public.
