Above: Non Serviam (bronze, 1980) - a statue placed in the dreariest imaginable concrete environment at Malmskillnadsgatan in Stockholm. The girl, Erika, is reading a poem by Gunnar Ekelöf of the same title: "Jag Àr en frÀmling i detta land
men detta land Àr ingen frÀmling i mig!
Jag Àr inte hemma i detta land
men detta land beter sig som hemma i mig!"
