Namahisvárri is a mountain too sacred to be named. Grahn's inflatable mountain sculpture has its highest peak at 10 metres above sea level.
Grahn is interested in these Sami holy places that still rise in Saepmie, but whose magic seems dormant and whose stone bodies often fall victim to societies ruled by colonial powers with capitalism as their social religion. “I have a huge love for the mountains. I guess these sculptures are artworks for the future: when the ore is extracted and the mountains lie crushed in heaps of gravel, let us rejoice in these inflatable mountains'' explains Grahn.
