The exhibition brings together ten artists — women and non-binary individuals, who share a love for women. Queer relationships form the core of the show. Each artist creates work in their own style and based on their personal connection to the theme. The exhibition thus revolves around desire, sex, tension, love, softness, conception, humor, heartbreak, and longing.
The ten artists have created diverse works using a wide range of materials. On display are oil paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, textile works, glass pieces, and works made from hair, silicone, and beads.

Rósmarý Hjartardóttir graduated as a graphic designer from the Iceland University of the Arts (IUA) in the spring of 2024. During her studies, she spent a semester studying motion design at Vilnius Academy of Arts (VDA) in Lithuania. In her final year at IUA, she researched the intersection of graphic design and printmaking, both through her B.A. thesis and her graduation project. She explored how the process of printmaking itself impacts the final outcome in a myriad of unpredictable ways. She now applies this knowledge in both her graphic design and printmaking practice by fostering creativity and experimentation within the process itself. Rósmary works at an ad agency and is a board member at the Icelandic Printmaking association as a secretary. She held her first solo exhibition Elska Feitt at Núllið Gallerý during DesignMarch 2025.
