"Crux" embodies Sif Itona Westerberg's reconstruction of classical imagery. It’s an examination of humanity and society, combining the classical and the modern.
This dual-piece patinated bronze sculpture invites a dialogue between the shadowy, subcultural, and suppressed sides of humanity and our society. The seen and the unseen, the rational and the suppressed. Itona invites her viewer to be a part of this conversation. What does the combination of classical and modern mean to them? 
Each piece is a visual exploration of new ecologies, relationships, and aesthetics that resonate with the modern era. "Crux" encourages readers to look deeper at the here and now. It looks to start conversations that help viewers think deeper about their world, past and present, known and unknown.

Sif Itona Westerberg

Sif Itona Westerberg is a Danish visual artist whose work spans sculpture, installation, and drawing, often exploring the blurred boundaries between mythology, technology, and the natural world. Born in 1985 and based in Copenhagen, Westerberg is known for her ability to merge ancient symbolism with contemporary materials—creating a body of work that feels both archaeological and futuristic.

At the heart of her practice lies an investigation into how we create meaning across time. Drawing from classical sculpture, digital aesthetics, and science fiction, she constructs complex, layered forms that often resemble artifacts unearthed from an imagined civilization. Her pieces may evoke fragments of bodies, vessels, or relics, yet they resist clear categorization—inhabiting a liminal space between past and future, human and machine.

Westerberg often works in cast materials such as concrete, resin, and metal, manipulating their surfaces with intricate patterns or embedded forms. These materials, typically associated with permanence or industrial utility, are transformed into delicate, even poetic expressions. Her visual language is tactile and enigmatic, inviting viewers to project their own narratives onto each work.

In recent years, Westerberg has exhibited widely across Scandinavia and Europe, earning critical recognition for her thoughtful material investigations and distinctive aesthetic. Her work reflects a growing interest in how technology and mythology intersect—and how these forces shape our understanding of identity, memory, and origin.

Through a practice that is both rigorous and intuitive, Sif Itona Westerberg offers a quietly radical take on sculpture in the 21st century.
