Swenholt’s artistic vision reflects a deep respect for humanity’s place in the universe. She sees the world as a carefully crafted nest for humankind—both beautiful and fragile, capable of profound joy yet vulnerable to loss. This tension is central to her work, as she sculpts small monuments to the passions, struggles, and spiritual dimensions of human existence. Swenholt believes in art as a language—a means of understanding and being understood. Inspired by Victor Hugo’s observation that "In the Middle Ages, man had no great thought that he did not put in stone," she approaches sculpture as a dialogue between memory, truth, and form. She sculpts from both imagination and life models, treating the pose as a found object that evolves alongside her creative exploration. In some cases, Swenholt complements her sculptures with verse, likening these words to song lyrics—imperfect on their own but capable of deepening the experience of the art. Her work stands as a testament to the interplay of beauty and truth, engaging the viewer in a shared human journey.
