Isola: A miniature crooked wall/room, whose "ground-plan" is traced from the coastline of an unnamed island off the coast of Iceland. There are no doors or windows on the room, but there are electric lights and air vents at regular interval.
Impasse: A wall is constructed between 2 columns and left half-finished, spackled and sanded, as if ready to be painted. At the bottom center, a miniature model of the façade of Isaksskoli, the artists elementary school in Reykjavik, is embedded.
