Beyond mere glances: A unique journey through Stockholm's history as seen through Gunnel Frieberg's sculptures, Jannica och dockvagnen

Jannica och dockvagnen, sculptures created by Gunnel Frieberg, provide a distinctive portrayal of Stockholm's history. Jannica, carved at Katarina Bangata on Södermalm, just beside Östgötagatan, resembles a child exerting effort to ascend steps, mirroring the artist's childhood from a thought-provoking perspective. At the Sätra Tunnel Station in Stockholm stands another sculpture by Frieberg, Dockvagnen. This masterpiece symbolizes the artist traversing modernity as she pushes a wheelchair, a tangible representation of her art progressing alongside history. Both sculptures share a deep bond with the city and the artist's remarkable journey.
