Remed spent a long time preparing for this piece. He created a story, defragmented it, and made it fit to the building. The colours are carefully picked to match the building's. The title, "Hellige Heks Fortuna / The Holy Witch Fortuna" is chosen after a conversation with Aksel the fisherman, who talked about Fortuna, the patron saint of the fishermen. The body of the saint/witch is deconstructed into geometrical, almost abstract body parts.
