Freedom for Elin Flognman is to be able to express oneself. For her through art. Key ingredients for making art is time and space. Like the potato needs space to be planted in and time to grow new potatoes. The potatoes grow in their own time and you can't hurry their work. Elin Flognman refers to a quote from the Moomin Story by Finish author Tove Janson where the Moomin Father claims “I just want to live in peace, grow my potatoes and dream”. This is Elin’s image of freedom.
