Elena Berg Österdahl wakes up in the morning and does not reach for her phone. She dances.She lives in the south of Gotland and works as a metal artist. From a material most people think of as cold and rigid, she makes flowers. Some so delicate you can barely see the hard metal in them.In this episode I talk with her about slow mornings, about the courage not to be put in a box, and about rust. For Elena it is not a flaw, but a story. Something that lives and keeps changing over decades. A little like us.We talk about island life in winter, when the weather forces you indoors. About fire shows she has performed since she was young. And about the tiny flower that grows on the bare limestone of Gotland. Stubborn, fragile and tough at the same time.Buy the metal flower: https://www.callingsheep.com/products/metal-flower-for-your-cardigan-broochIf this episode moves you, tell me in the comments: what are you letting go of right now that once felt solid and new?
